To commemorate the 5 year anniversary of the passing of the ISL Act 2017, National Irish Sign Language Day is held on 14 December. Join in and celebrate with us. I was proud to be a small part of a steering group involved in pushing for this legislation. @tcddublin @IrishDeafSoc

This is not good enough. “Unaware” really is “we couldn’t be bothered”. All public services need to re-examine budgeting for accessibility of a project/event/campaign - accessibility (i.e ISL interpretation) can’t be an afterthought. @irishexaminer

I’m thrilled and buzzing with energy after the #masterclass from @designsproject. My PhD topic, of which I wasn’t too certain this week, is basically validated during the summary of today. Now the only thing I have to do is actually write the thesis. Minor detail. #designsproject

Also, the lack of eye gaze with neither the deaf professional or the interpreter (as a hearing interviewer) is experienced as alienating by hearing employees, as making eye contact is paramount in building rapport.

Employers mention that it’s difficult to listen to the same interpreter who is interpreting several deaf applicants - personal traits in translation into English are important to keep it ‘easy on the ears’. @designsproject #designsproject

Interpreters have to agree to assignments based on limited information and sometimes have to pull out if necessary information is not provided; they have to be allowed to do the best job they can. @designsproject #designsproject
