Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's website was completely upgraded and revised in 2003 making it more streamlined and accessible to a wider public, including those with disabilities. The Department has worked with a combination of web content accessibility guidelines, WCAG, published by the Web Accessibility Initiative, WAI, and with accessibility experts to create and maintain the site to be as accessible as possible to all users.
It is the responsibility of each division of my Department to maintain accurate and up to date information on the website in relation to its own area of work. Editing and publishing that material on the website is the responsibility of one officer in corporate affairs division and two webmaster staff of information systems division. The website provides a facility for comments on content and technical issues.
