The percentage of social media posts in Irish, and those featuring bilingual translations, which issued between 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2023 from the social media accounts of my Department and its Offices are set out in the attached table; to note it does not include paid campaigns.

With regard to the social media activity of the agencies under my Department’s remit, these are operational matters for those agencies and I do not have any direct function in these matters.
