Between December 2023 and February 2024 Irish Sign Language interpreters were invited to participate in a survey to investigate the sustainability of the signed language interpreting profession in Ireland.
A heartfelt thank you to the ISL interpreters who filled out the survey, to the project partners for their support, and colleagues for their guidance making this research possible.
