Ireland established the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020 on September 23 2020.
Enforcing the Regulations falls under the responsibility of the National Disability Authority (NDA). The NDA has been tasked with ensuring the compliance of public sector bodies and establishing penalties or measures for non-compliant entities.
The NDA must also submit periodic reports to the Minister for Communications, Climate Action, and Environment, consisting of data on compliance, complaint and redress provisions, consultation mechanisms, accessibility policy developments, and training activities. The reports are made public in an accessible format.
