PrefaceAs proposed in the Outline Sectoral Plan of the Department of Social and FamilyAffairs published in 2004 and confirmed in the Disability Sectoral Plan publishedin July of this year the Minister for Social and Family Affairs has requestedComhairle to prepare a scheme relating to sign language interpretation services.The purpose of such a scheme is to make public services accessible to the Deafcommunity through the provision of sign language interpretation. This study wascommissioned in preparation for this task.The study includes a review of existing services and service requirements,research on international best practice and, based on this information, it sets outan approach to the development of an Interpretative Service. A critical part of theexercise was an in-depth consultation process with the major stakeholders. Thisinvolved three consultation workshops with members of the Deaf Community, aworkshop with public sector service providers and interviews with a number oforganisations and individuals with a particular expertise or involvement in theprovision of sign language interpretation services. These consultations wereinvaluable in ensuring all the issues of importance for the development of thisservice were considered and captured.The report and the recommendations agreed by the Comhairle Board have beensubmitted to the Minister for his consideration. The development of interpretativeservices in the manner proposed in the report will ultimately depend on Comhairlereceiving the resources required. I welcome this report and consider that it offersvaluable information and advice on the future development of sign interpretationservices in Ireland.Chris GlennonChairmanReview of Sign Language Interpretation Services and Service Requirements in Ireland • page 7
