Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education Needs of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students: Discussion
Mr. Andrew Geary:
Yes. Trinity College Dublin, TCD, runs its Centre for Deaf Studies, which covers sign language interpreting and sign language teaching. It also produces graduates in deaf studies. DCU, as I said, is doing the first course for primary teaching. I have done a level 6 course with Munster Technological University, MTU, Tralee over the last few years. It is an excellent course that has brought my sign language to another level. I have done levels 5 and 6 and there is potential there for a partnership.
