Amharc ar fhreagraThere is no audit being undertaken of the Department of Defence website at present. A project is currently ongoing to replace three of the department’s websites which includes the main website (www.defence.ie ), the website of the Office of Emergency Planning ( www.emergencyplanning.ie ) and the website for the Be Winter Ready campaign (www.winterready.ie ).
It is anticipated that all three websites will be live by the end of 2017. As part of the development process they will all be tested to ensure that they comply with WCAG standard 2.0AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) which is an internationally recognised standard (ISO/IEC 40500:2012), and will be certified as such by the service provider.
