Just to update everyone concerning the accessibility issues with the website
for registering your septic tank (www.protectourwater.ie), we have spoken to
the developers who will fix the issues with the form. I am happy that they have
the commitment and skills required to do this correctly. The problem with it
using a visual Captcha puzzle with an impossible audio alternative is more
difficult because decisions on security features such as this are made at a
higher level and are outside of the developer's scope. We will therefore be
talking to whoever is responsible for this decision about alternative
approaches to security and ensuring that nobody who fails to register due to
inaccessibility is penalised.
