Earlier Mr. Cawley spoke about the fact that many videos have captions and auto text. The idea was put forward to have a disabled person on the team. This is a good idea. I suggest, in light of the web accessibility legislation, that this is a real business opportunity. Such a business could be established. An individual Deputy or a small company might not be in a position to employ somebody on the team but if they could access expertise many people would be very interested in doing so. I apologise because I must leave the meeting to go to the Dáil Chamber.
