There is an onus on anybody who becomes a director - in whatever capacity, be it voluntary or otherwise - to read the material. I recently joined the board of a crèche and have not yet got around to reading a large amount of documents.

There is only so far one can go. If there is an issue with the access of the language that is a different issue altogether. The Minister of State has made it clear that there is no shortage of material available in regard to the obligations on people who set up companies of which they become directors. The problem is getting people to read it. It is up to the individuals concerned to do so. As I said earlier, I accept that if the language is not accessible for some people that might be an issue. However, there is no shortage of ways of accessing the particular information.
