RE: 1999 a Banner Year for Accessiblity-Ireland

Another addition to this list:

According to Ronan McGuirk <Ronan.P.McGuirk@aib.ie>:

"On 16th November, The Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, launched new web
design guidelines for the Irish Government and public service.  These
guidelines include the Worldwide web consortium's WAI guidelines for access
for people with disabilities.  The Irish Government's web sites are being
revised and we have already noticed improvements!"
