The information requested is not routinely collated. However, my Department endeavours to provide information in both English and Irish, not only through social media, but through other communication channels and materials. We are committed to complying with requirements under the Official Languages Act, including providing all static content on the Department's website in both Irish and English, and this is kept under regular review. With regard to bodies under the remit of this Department, that is a matter for those organisations as my Department does not have a role in the social media activity of those organisations.
