Non-accessible content
If you wish to contact us regarding accessibility, please see the feedback and contact information section below. We will do our best to ensure that any content you are requesting is made available and accessible.
We are working to improve the accessibility compliance of our websites and will try to apply all accessibility standards to content being published to our website going forward.
Parts of the Council’s website are not fully accessible. For example:
- PDFs: Some documents in PDF format that are not fully accessible and are exempt under the EU Web Accessibility Directive because they were published prior to 23 September 2018.

This is not an exhaustive list of non-accessible content.
South Dublin County Council staff are reviewing and improving the accessibility of PDFs and are actively working to address any other identified issues on an ongoing basis.
