Fergus O'Dowd (FG), Louth

Significant funding has been provided by the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, for a voucher scheme so people who are deaf can purchase sign language interpreters for essential private and personal issues. Unfortunately, the Citizens Information Board has suspended the scheme with immediate effect, causing significant concern and worry for people who are deaf and the Irish Deaf Society. Will the Minister intervene with the Citizens Information Board to ensure a constructive outcome from this engagement?
