Minister Niamh Smyth has announced a major step forward in Ireland's journey toward a more inclusive digital society.
She has launched a call to action on the forthcoming Charter for Digital Inclusion.
The Charter is a part of Ireland's Digital Inclusion Roadmap, published in August 2023, which forms part of the government's National Digital Strategy.
It aims to ensure that no one is left behind as digital technologies become increasingly central to how we live, work, and connect.
The local minister says digital technology is transforming every aspect of our lives-but not everyone has equal access to its benefits.
This Charter is a call to action for businesses and organisations across Ireland to embed digital inclusion into their everyday operations.
Minister Smyth says, "by signing the Charter, organisations commit to impactful actions to ensure that digital opportunities are accessible to all."
The local minister of state says she wants to make sure no one is left behind in the digital age.
