Irish Sign Language (ISL) is now Ireland’s third official language since the passing of
the Irish Sign Language Act in 2017. The Act underpins the Right of Deaf people to
access any public services through ISL on request. Health professionals working in
public services need to be aware of this.

ISL interpreters can be booked through a number of interpreting agencies. Further
information is available from the Sign Language Interpreting Service, see www.slis.ie
