Minister for Foreign Affairs

My Department takes its obligations in relation to web accessibility seriously, and we are committed to meeting the requirements set out under the directive 2016/2102 (EU).

The Department operates a number of websites including dfa.ie, irishaid.ie, and ireland.ie. A review of accessibility statements across our sites is ongoing.
