Student brings legal action over access to sign language teacher
Wednesday, July 28, 2021
A deaf primary school student has brought a High Court challenge to compel the Minister for Education and the school he attends to provide him with full-time access to an Irish Sign Language (ISL) teacher.
The action is being brought on behalf of a boy, who has been deaf since birth, who the court heard requires to be taught by a qualified ISL teacher at the primary school he currently attends.
The applicant, who is suing through his father, cannot be identified by order of the court. The court heard that the boy’s parents are hugely concerned about his education.
