More than 90% of Irish Governmental websites are inaccessible to people with disabilities, a new report has found.

Initial results from the eGovernment Benchmarking survey reveals that overuse of inaccessible PDF documents is creating significant difficulties for people with disabilities.

It is also undermining Government efforts to create an inclusive web presence and achieve full accessibility conformance, according to internet consultants iQ Content.

The report which will be published at the end of March aims to benchmark the performance of 40 public sector websites in Ireland and the UK.
