Fears for future of sign language service
22/12/2003 - 7:26:37 am

Ireland's only sign language interpreting service is facing closure if it cannot secure the funding it needs to ensure its future.

Irish Sign Link is a non-profit making organisation established to help deaf people access essential services.

The Government has agreed to provide €25,000 in emergency funding to help the service survive until a long-term source of finance can be found.

Social and Family Affairs Minister, Mary Coughlan, has said that Sign Link is a vital service in the deaf community.
