1612. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if all IT systems used by his Department can utilise the síneadh fada; where this is not the case, to provide the list of systems which do not accept or facilitate the use of the fada, in tabular form; the steps being taken to address this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that currently all of my Department’s customer-facing I.T. systems can hold data in the Irish language character set, including the síneadh fada.

It is the policy of my Department, as set out in Section 4.11 of the Department of Justice Irish Language Scheme, to ensure compatibility with the Irish language of relevant I.T. systems, when considering system updates, where possible, and without adversely affecting the current level of services available.
