How would that judge like it is the world was dominated by sign language and only a few spoken languages were around. The courts only used sign language and no one could follow spoken language - surely how would he feel. In fact everyone should try to communicate with someone with out speaking for a month - no spoken words no hand gestures it will make them realise what it like to be deaf and to rely on sign language alone

It is vital for everyone to access the information anywhere especially in courts. Deaf people must get the same treatment as hearing people.

It's not fair to saying this to deaf people, deaf people deserve to do Irish Sign Language by seen on camera video or OK any television by video this. Deaf people are proud of using theirs language in the crowd of many people in the city and signing without any second thoughts. Hearing people who is discrimination against people with Irish Sign Language, please stop.... I sign this petition because Irish Sign Language is deserved to be show everywhere even in the camera even worldwide.

I think it's very wrong for the decision without an interpreter and discrimination. It's should be cancel and postponed if no interpreter. Hopefully it's sort it out. Regards Glen Cunningham
