Irish Sign Language: Irish Deaf Society

Mr. Brian Crean:
Thinking about the luxury of access, even people who are in dire situations, who are self-harming have access to a helpline, they can telephone somebody. Deaf people face barriers to getting access to that kind of helpline. We are looking at the extreme marginalisation of deaf people. All that we want is to become full citizens and the way that will happen is through the recognition of our language.
