Accessibility at Richmond Barracks

Statement of commitment

Dublin City Council Culture Company, which operates the Richmond Barracks website, is committed to making this website accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We are committed to making this website accessible in accordance with the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020 and aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA due to the non-accessible content and content under review listed below.

Accessibility monitoring and testing

We use Acquia Web Governance, formerly Monsido, to carry out automated accessibility checks on this website each month.

Our most recent automated scan, on 8 October 2026, reviewed 600 pages and reported no Level A or Level AA automated failures, giving an automated accessibility score of 100%.

Automated testing cannot identify every accessibility barrier, so this score does not by itself demonstrate full WCAG or legal compliance. We also carry out manual review and continue to address content that requires further assessment.

Non-accessible content and content under review

Some content on this website is not yet fully accessible or is currently being reviewed for accessibility.

1. Images: We are reviewing images across the website to ensure that appropriate alternative text is provided. Where alternative text is missing or inadequate, we are updating it in the content management system.
2. PDF documents: Some PDF documents linked from this website may not yet be fully accessible. We are reviewing these documents individually. Where a PDF is still required, we will work to provide an accessible version or alternative format. Where it is no longer required, we will remove the obsolete document or link.
3. Third-party audio and video content: Some pages include audio or video content provided through third-party services such as YouTube and Mixcloud. We do not control the accessibility of third-party player interfaces, but we aim to make the content that we publish through these services as accessible as possible.

Our staff regularly review and improve the accessibility of content on the website.

Please contact comms@richmondbarracks.ie if you encounter an accessibility issue that is not described above.

It is based on ongoing accessibility review using a combination of site-wide automated testing and manual review of selected pages and content against WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

This statement was last reviewed on 8 October 2026.
