Interpreting Services

Interpreting Services facilitate communication between people using English and Irish Sign Language, where Deaf and hearing people interact but do not share a common language or mode of communication.  Our services are designed to assist you to meet your legal obligations to make services available in an accessible format, making reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities.

We have interpreters based throughout Ireland; however, it is advisable when possible to give at least two weeks’ notice.

See our sub-menu for information on interpreting in legal, medical, education, financial and other settings.

A guide to fees

Rates start at €199 plus taxes and expenses.  Fee rates vary according to the degree of difficulty of the interpreting event, the skill and experience of the interpreter and the duration of the event.  Specific detailed quotations will be given for individual assignments.

Remote Interpreting

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and Video Conference Interpreting (VCI) are possible using freeware (for one to one connections) such as Skype, ooVoo, and other readily available software.  Quality of image will depend on the level of traffic, broadband speeds, and the specification of the device on which you are viewing the image, computer screen, video-phone,etc. Freeware does not meet with minimum recommended specifications for a professional service.  However, while we are currently astertaining the level of interest in remote interpreting by service providers and deaf consumers, and we are consulting with other service providers on their experiences, examining international research on this type of provision and consulting the deaf community on the potential impact on quality of service for all service users and interpreter providers, it is possible to book a video interpretation with us.

How does it work?

If you provide a service / information, and a deaf person is attending an appointment with you, you simply call our office via Skype using a webcam (assuming you have fast enough line such as ISDN, DSL or broadband) and we will interpret.  The deaf person will see our interpreting on your PC screen.
