Mr. Paul Reid:
I thank the Senator. I am taking on board her feedback as she has given it to us.
We want to continue to promote Irish Sign Language. It has been one of the very positive outcomes of Covid that a lot of Government and agency communications have used Irish Sign Language. I thank the Senator for her comment on that.
In our senior briefings, Dr. Henry is a Gaeilgeoir and takes a lot of our communications briefings with Raidió na Gaeltachta and other Irish-language channels in terms of communications. I am happy to take on board any feedback on areas we can improve on.
