You know what the best thing about Irish Sign Language date on #FirstDatesIRL tonight was? The fact that @COCOtv didn't do a voiceover for the date. Such a small but powerful thing to do because it really made people pay attention to what a beautiful language ISL is! #YestoISL

The 2 lads signing on #firstdatesirl is the best thing on tv this week. I always remember deaf people telling us how they felt "extreme marginalisation" when the Irish Sign Language Bill was progressing through Seanad. Hopefully visibility can help break that down.? ? #ISLabú

It’s true, as a deaf person, it’s hard to find someone who accepts me for who I am. Been on many dates but still haven’t found that guy. #StillwishingforMrHiddleston

It’s usually an honour to be given a sign bans and usually allocated by a deaf person. A sign name can refer to a physical trait or something related to that person – it’s like a nickname of sorts ??

This is the truth, but is way cute.

This is just interesting to watch them talk about problems they come across. I’ll probably never have to deal with these issues, but it’s interesting to think about. Cool video.
