535. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the amount of funding, if any, his Department provides for library services for persons with a visual impairment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29575/14]

The level of service and funding provided towards library services for visually impaired people is a matter for each local authority. While I understand that all libraries provide such services, my Department does not have a specific role in their provision.
