Hi y'all,
Yes, Cearbhall is right. None of the accessibility standards are binding
under law. The thing that gets me, from being on the coal face for many
years, is that a lot of accessibility problems are so easily avoidable.
I would also have thought that now is the time to have better user
interfaces, more accessible applications etc as opposed to things
getting worse. However, Aer Lingus is just one use case.
To be balanced, I do believe things are getting better in terms of less
barriers in the digital environment.
Cheers
Josh
