We’re delighted to announce the publication of a new information leaflet about interpreting for the Cork area.

The leaflet will be available to pick up in the offices of Deaf service providers in Cork, including the Cork Deaf Club and the Cork Deaf Association. It will be used in a promotion of the interpreter service in Cork with courts, hospitals, and other service providers to ensure that there is an awareness of the rights of Deaf people to interpreters, and also an awareness of how to book one.

The leaflet was published with the assistance of the Cork Deaf Association and has been designed in parallel with our website, www.corkinterpreter.com.
