Irish Sign Language interpreted videos for Dublin Zoo visitors

- 

DUBLIN Zoo yesterday became the first Irish zoo to have Irish Sign Language interpreted videos for deaf and hard of hearing visitors available through QR codes.

The initiative, in collaboration with Chime, the national charity for deaf and hard of hearing people, was launched with a visit by Chime’s Dublin Deaf Group and client families.

They took part in a wake-up experience with Asian elephants and an in-person ISL interpreted talk.

The event was part of International Week of Deaf People, which runs until Sunday.
