I wish to advise the Deputy that 52.5% of the social media video posts published by my Department during 2024 included closed captioning or subtitles. One of these posts used Irish Sign Language. 37.5% of the Department’s videos also consisted only of text or images with no voiceover and so did not require closed captioning/subtitles/sign language.

The following table outlines the position in regard to the bodies under the aegis of my Department. The Deputy may wish to note that the State Laboratory and the Office of the National Lottery Regulator do not use or post on social media platforms.
