I come from a German-speaking household, as my mother is German, and so I understand the language barriers from when my granny moved over. I found it distressing and disturbing that the Government failed to translate the literature that was key for so many people to ensure they had accurate information on social distancing and their rights. We learned this week that huge money was spent on that and the fact that it was not done at the very start is baffling to me. How significant was that? Is the material which has been translated and is now available sufficient? If not, what else needs to be made available?
