Making the site usable for everyone
Anyone can reach this site. These are the things we have done to make it easier to use, and the things we know have not yet been resolved.
If you have difficulty, tell us about it at [email protected]. We will reply and, where possible, resolve it.
What has been done
Page structure
Headings are used in a logical sequence, with editorial landmarks and semantic tags, so that screen reader users will find the site easy to use.
Keyboard navigation
Every function can be used with the keyboard alone, including the menu, the table of contents and the cookie banner.
Visible focus
There is a clear focus indicator on every link and on every button when the keyboard is used.
Colour contrast
Text and background have been chosen to maintain sufficient contrast in light mode.
Reduced motion
When “prefers-reduced-motion” is set in the system, animation and transitions are turned off.
Resizable text
The layout is based on relative units, which allows the text to be enlarged without breaking the page.
Images with alt text
Every image that carries meaning has a text description. Decorative images have empty alt text, to spare the screen reader.
What has not been resolved
We do not claim that the site is fully accessible. There are limitations, and it is better to mention them than to conceal them.
- Photographs
- Not every photograph has a long description. There is a short alt text that describes the most important content.
- Detail items
- The mobile menu is a custom component and may behave differently with assistive technology.
- Language
- The site is in English. Irish place names and road names are given in their standard form, which screen readers may pronounce differently.
