Hi Derbhile,
I've found ros.ie pretty accessible for getting around.
However, an issue I've had is that when it comes to logging into the area of
the site where you submit your tax returns it used to use a java applet to
display the username and password fields. Jaws had problems with finding
these edit fields.
Now, I've not used the site in a while, so things may have improved.
The site is secure.
Tim

Subject: [vicsireland] query about accessibility of Revenue Website
Hi
I got a call from a woman asking about the accessibiliyt of the revenue's
online service, www.ros.ie. She uses a magnifier like me, but she's nearly
at the stage where she needs Jaws. I looked at it with my own magnifier and
it looked okay. Because it's a government website, it has a page talking
about accessibiliyt. But she said she's had problems reading tables on it,
so I said I'd ask on the list how accessible other people found the site, if
they have used it. Could you let me know how you found it and how you got
around any accessibility problems you encountered on it? She also wants to
find out how secure the site is.
Thanks
Derbhile
