My Department ensures, to the greatest extent possible, that our published video content includes closed captioning. Between 1 May 2022 and 30 April 2023 (inclusive), 95% of social media videos posted were captioned. 10% of these featured closed captioning in the Irish language.

The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
