Broadcasters may learn live news subtitling from UK

Irish broadcasters may be invited to learn about subtitling live events such as news programmes from their UK counterparts following complaints from viewers who are deaf and hard of hearing.

A review of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland’s access rules has found that broadcasters are broadly compliant with the regulations governing access to programming for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

It also found that the quantity of access provision had risen considerably.
