Joan Ann,
I wrote to Olivia that I feel that the project should include folk from outside
her area remit for their comments and suggestions; not necessarily visiting
them.
Gerry your input would be invaluable with the testing audience Council member
or no!
I'm certain for one that you would maintain an overall unbiased view of the
findings whilst giving your suggestions and opinions in the testing!
We all get behind this research which is great indeed!
The internet is of course for everyone as we always advocate on this list and
Vics so let things happen with regard to the player accessibility-wise we say!
Best of luck,
Thank you,
Tony Sweeney

Hello Olivia
Welcome to the VICS list.
I think the project you are working on to improve the accessibility of
the RTé player is one that will hugely benefit us.
I live in Kerry and would be more than happy to assist you if I am in
a suitable area.
Joan Ann.
