153. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Finance to detail the preparations being undertaken by his Department in advance of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882); the guidance that is being issued by his Department to organisations and businesses in advance of the enactment of the directive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39667/23]
View answerThe transposition of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) is being undertaken by my colleague, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman TD.
Since the Directive applies to consumer banking services, my officials have been engaging with and assisting officials from Minister O’Gorman’s Department to facilitate the transposition of the Directive.
I can assure the Deputy that my officials will continue to provide whatever assistance may be needed to progress and implement this important legislation.
