Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's website has been designed with accessibility considerations and includes elements that assist in the site's user experience. There are an increasing number of internet enabled devices that access our website, and these are catered for as resourcing permits. My Department is committed to reviewing and improving the user experience on our website in line with technological developments.
The Deputy may wish to note that my Department is also aware of developments regarding the proposed EU directive on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies, which is being tracked by my colleague Minister Naughten's Department.
