Dáil rejects application to provide sign language interpreter for Leader's Questions

The Irish Deaf Society says the Dáil will not provide an Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpreter when they attend the public gallery in the Dáil to watch Leader's Questions.

Fianna Fáil Senator Mark Daly says he wrote to the Ceann Comhairle's office, to say 100 members of the deaf community wanted to come to leader's questions this Thursday, and they would need an interpreter on the Dáil floor.
