    Hi,

    Anyone know if it is a legal requirement for all Irish business websites to be complient with Web Accessibility Standard 2.0? 

    Someone mentioned this to me today.

    There doesnt seem to be a clear message after a Google search...

    Thanks!

    It's an EU requirement for public sector bodies to meet the requirements but not for businesses. For non-government sites/applications it's a moral requirement but not a legal one.

    Where you can get into trouble is if you are offering goods or services to the public that are only available through an in-accessible website or application. In those circumstances you are deemed to be discriminating against a minority and are liable to legal action as a result.
