About this list
Dublin holds the directory's deepest bench for Irish public-sector accessibility: agencies that have shipped WCAG-compliant services across government, regulators and universities. Path documents work for the Office of Public Works, Technological University Dublin, Dublin City Council and the Dublin Region Homeless Executive; Kooba evidences work for SETU, the National Disability Authority and Bord Bia; Arekibo documents work for the Central Bank of Ireland and the Health Products Regulatory Authority.
Rates run €80–150 per hour, below the enterprise band. Irish public bodies procure through tender and hold to EN 301 549 and WCAG.
Accessibility is the through-line — with the National Disability Authority itself on the roster, conformance here is lived, not claimed. A citizen service tested to WCAG and delivered through public procurement is a specific competence — read each profile's documented public-sector engagements and editorial review, and match the accessibility and civic evidence to your body. With four studios, the documented rosters carry the shortlist.
Expert Insight
Why public-sector fit matters
Tender experience is a hard prerequisite: agencies without documented public work routinely fail procurement paperwork before design skill even enters the picture.
Accessibility is law in this sector — WCAG conformance and EN 301 549 experience are evidenced by delivered public services, not by a checkbox on a capabilities page.
Citizen-facing services have no churn escape valve: the design bar for inclusive, plain-language, failure-tolerant flows is higher than most commercial work.
Public evidence is public: engagements on this page are backed by published case studies — rare in a sector where references usually decide everything.
