Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Sinn Féin supports the amendment to the amendment, which provides that "provision of or availing of a remote, web-based service shall, if the Irish Sign Language user consents, be sufficient to meet the obligations of a public body under this section." This means that the user will be in control of the decision as to whether the service is sufficient. As we see so often, the individual in question, in this case the member of the deaf community, is best positioned to determine whether a service provided is adequate.
