Compliance Status

Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. The site meets most Level AA requirements and a number of Level A.
Non-Accessible Content
We are working to improve the accessibility compliance of our website for all audiences. Some parts of the Tailte Éireann website are not fully accessible, and we are continuing to address these issues. These may include:
- Some video and audio content may be missing alternatives, captions, descriptions, or text transcripts. These are being reviewed for improvement on a case-by-case basis.
- The site has multiple similar banner landmarks due to the page template.
- There are some elements on the page where the use of role and aria tags are not available due to the nature of the site plugin, therefore affecting the semantic structure of the content.
If any of our content is not easily accessible, please contact us directly (see details below).
