My Department has two active websites, www.taoiseach.gov.ie and www.merrionstreet.ie and is committed to achieving a minimum conformance level Double-A with the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and complying with the National Disability Authority Accessibility Guidelines. Both of the sites utilise a state of the art Content Management System that promotes content compliance with disability and accessibility standards and formats. My Department also utilises an online toolset that constantly monitors the websites for broken links, misspellings and accessibility issues. Any issues identified are resolved on a regular basis in order to maintain/improve the sites' accessibility.
