Has the Taoiseach responded to a recent evaluation of accessibility in regard to e-Government websites? The Internet consultancy firm, Red Cardinal, found that one quarter of departmental websites failed to meet the minimum — priority one — standards required by the globally recognised website content accessibility guidelines. Although his Department's website is not mentioned specifically in the report, the Taoiseach must provide leadership in this regard. Does he know whether it meets the standard? Does he know whether the same is true of the websites of the Attorney General, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Chief State Solicitor or the Central Statistics Office? Other Departments will take a lead from the Taoiseach.
