Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 April 2017
433. Deputy Colm Brophy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of requests her Department received for material to be made available in Braille format in each of the years 2014 to 2016; the number of these requests which were accommodated by her Department; and the cost implication and the person or body which provided the translation service. [16383/17]
View answerI am advised that my Department did not receive any requests for material to be made available in braille format during the period in question. I would also advise the Deputy that my Department's website (www.ahrrga.gov.ie) adheres to a minimum of conformance level Double-A with the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and also complies with the National Disability Authority IT Accessibility Guidelines.
The Deputy may also wish to note that the Irish language version of the website incorporates an Irish Language screen reader Abair. This software was developed by Trinity College with the support of the Department.
