Sign-language voucher scheme
Minister Humphreys says her officials are engaging with the Citizens Information Board and sign-language stakeholders, and she will keep Deputy O'Dowd informed. The Taoiseach then clarifies that the special education teacher increase is compared with 2021, not last year.
I thank Deputy O'Dowd for raising this matter. I was made aware of it late last week and the Irish Deaf Society has been in contact with me. As we speak, my officials are engaging with all the stakeholders, both the Citizens Information Board and the sign language organisation. I will keep the Deputy abreast of how they get on.
