Established in 2001 to develop a centre of excellence in the West of Ireland for the study of Irish Sign Language. We work to increase awareness of sign language users as a linguistic community. Our training and interpreting services can assist you to provide deaf people with an equitable experience of access to your centre, service or education facility in line with disability and equality legislation.
In addition to offering standard interpreting services, we provide communication services to vulnerable deaf adults, minors, and non-nationals, working in English, Irish Sign Language, and other forms of signed communication including deafblind tactile communication and orientation. We offer forensic interpreting and translation services and have over 20 years experience in legal and medical interpreting sectors. As a private business we do not receive direct public funding. Our service is self-funding, is serving the community and is not profit driven.
