In 2017, Irish Sign Language (ISL) was officially given legal recognition in Ireland. Of course, it has a long history prior to this and in today's episode, Darach and Gearóidín meet Caroline McGrotty (@CarolineMcTweet), an ISL translator and presenter, to find out more. 

Where did ISL come from? Is it different in Northern Ireland? What is Caroline's favourite ISL word? Find out all this and more. 

ISL interpretation in this episode is provided by Catherine White. This production was made possible by the show's generous supporters on Patreon.
