Seminar promotes access to justice for the deaf

The first crime prevention seminar of its type in the country has taken place for deaf people.

It was held at the Cork Deaf Club on MacCurtain St and attended by deaf and hearing impaired people from all over Munster.

It follows on from the round-table research event held last May on “Access to Justice for Deaf Victims of Crime in Ireland”, organised by Gill Harold of UCC’s school of law.
