Great to see reference to #DeafBlind people here - this is SUCH an invisible group in Irish society, and one which the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 makes no reference to, leaving many without recourse to supports that should be provided. #AccessForAll @rodericogorman @AnneRabbitte
The theme for this year's #internationaldayofeducation is, ‘to invest in people, prioritize education’.
College Connect works to highlight pathways to education to traditionally underrepresented priority groups.
Helen Keller was a pioneer for people with disabilities.
Today, in the post, I received my @RegisterISLI registration docs - #RISLI was established in 2020 following from the provisions of the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 & I’m proud to be on the register alongside our recently certified #DeafInterpreter colleagues. @studies_centre
@ourownjourney @Donal_OKeeffe @irishexaminer @mc_tmcnally @_IHREC But if a significant number of public service bodies are unaware of their obligations under the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 - even those with key responsibilities for its implementation- then we have a lot of work to do. And those most impacted? Deaf kids like Callum & Eoghan.
#SignLanguageInterpreting is interpreting too - and we really, really should not have to even say this any more! #IrishSignLanguageAct2017
@22Q11_Ireland @leesonl @msmaryquirke @cisli_ireland @irishmednews And with the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017, there are obligations to facilitate #access. What we must remember is that interpreting provides access is for both patient & doctor... helping everyone get a better outcome. #InformedConsent #Communication #Compliance
Today, with my colleague Minister of State with responsibility for Disability @AnneRabbitte, I signed the commencement order for the Irish Sign Language Act 2017. ✍🏻
This will ensure the rights of the Deaf Community to access State services through ISL are protected.
@IrishDeafSoc @studies_centre Here is one to watch. #Commencement of the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 (And how lovely to see @tcdalumni Ciara Clarke in action as an @OireachtasNews #1ntSL @cisli_ireland @itia_ireland @efsli
Tomorrow in the #Seanad, @AnneRabbitte will be debating the commencement of the Irish Sign Language recognition Act which I helped pass in 2017 for the 50,000 ISL users. Tune in at 14:45 Tuesday to follow the discussion- https://t.co/M1WhLUUvow

Some of our graduates from the #ISLInterpretingPathway at work. Did you know that the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 means that public services must hire interpreters who are members of the (about to launch) register?
Well done @RevenueIE - great to see a public service ensuring equality of access to services for #deaf people via @SLIS_IRIS @SLIS_Ireland Here’s to other public & private bodies following suit. #IrishSignLanguageAct2017
@RonanLowry @JoChester_ Just let you know I got thru Revenue by phone via interpreter 4 general query & there were no data protection issues! Was asked three security questions to validate my identity! A good practice for others to follow! @RevenueIE @IHREC
Did you know that the 1st @EuropeanParl Resolution On Sign Languages Committee was chaired by Irish MEP Eileen LeMass back in 1988? Interestingly, it was her party colleague @SenatorMarkDaly who championed the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 #YestoISL https://t.co/YkgDsN6seg
We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the European Parliament Resolution on Sign Languages that happened on the 17th of June 1988!
Happy Christmas Everyone! 🎄🎅🏻🎄 It has been a fanastic year..

18 years ago today I moved to Belgium to take up a post with @EUD_Brussels. One key focus was preparing for #EuropeanYearofLanguages & recognition of #SignLanguages. Today, we celebrate the signing into law of the #IrishSignLanguageAct2017 by @PresidentIRL #YestoISL
