The Land Development Agency (“LDA”) is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with S.I. No. 358/2020 - European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020.
This accessibility statement applies to www.lda.ie
Compliance Status
This website is predominantly compliant with EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03) ‘Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services’, further to Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/2048, due to the non-compliances set out below.
Accessibility features of this website
Visual design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
All font sizes are relative and can be increased using the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers.
If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
Page titles
Good page titles are particularly important for orientation — to help people know where they are and move between pages open in their browser. The first thing screen readers say when the user goes to a different web page is the page title.
Image text alternatives ("alt text")
Text alternatives ("alt text") convey the purpose of an image, including pictures, illustrations, charts, etc. Text alternatives are used by people who do not see the image, e.g. people who are blind and use screen readers can hear the alt text read out; and people who have turned off images to speed download or save bandwidth can see the alt text.
Headings
Headings are marked up as headings so people can navigate to the headings — including people who cannot use a mouse and use only the keyboard, and people who use a screen reader.
Contrast ratio ("colour contrast")
Web pages have a minimum contrast by default: a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal-size text.
Resizable Text
Some users need to enlarge web content in order to read it. Some need to change other aspects of text display: font, space between lines and more.
Keyboard access and visual focus
This website enables users to access all content and functionality — links, forms, media controls, etc. — through a keyboard. Keyboard focus is visible and follows a logical order through the page elements.
Preparation of the Statement
This statement was last reviewed and updated on 6th October 2022.
