I cannot answer as to whether other Departments have allocated funding for this but it is very much on the agenda. There are monthly meetings with the Department of children on this and it is looking at it because equality comes under that. Our Department, through our officials from the Office of Government Procurement and in the OCGIO, is very much involved in it. I recently met with Vision Ireland, a part of the NCBI Group, which has done an amazing job in offering a lot of advice around this, not just to the Government but also to SMEs and other companies. Obviously, we want all our websites to bear this in mind in the future. I acknowledge the work Vision Ireland does and the training it is doing in this space.
