In September 2023, Profile 4 (Disability, Health, and Carers) of Ireland’s 2022 census results was published. The census findings are a valuable snapshot of Ireland’s disability population and their participation in society.
This blog offers a breakdown of the types of reviews performed and the scoring system used in Ireland’s first monitoring report, published in December 2021 by the NDA.
This report was commissioned by the country’s national sight loss charity, NCBI, and entails how accessible Ireland’s digital world is based on manual accessibility audits performed by the staff of IA Labs. Research and write-up of the index was carried out from February to October 2023.
On the 27th of April 2022, IA Labs released the Irish Digital Accessibility Index as part of their official company launch. The index, which was commissioned and is fully endorsed by the NCBI, is the result of months of hard work recording how accessible – or inaccessible – Ireland’s technology space is so far.
