The Regulatory Centre for Irish Sign Language Interpreters Ireland CLG was established for the purpose of maintaining the Register of Irish Sign Language Interpreters (RISLI). RISLI is a standards-based professional registration system for Irish Sign Language (ISL) Interpreters. RISLI is seeking at least three new directors of the Board.
Background
The Irish Sign Language Act (2017) outlines the requirements for courts and public bodies to use interpreters whose qualifications are verified by the RISLI. The company has a Board of Directors tasked with the governance of the company. A separate Registration Panel deals with matters related to registration.
RISLI is funded and supported by the Citizens Information Board (CIB), which lies under the aegis of the Department of Social Protection.
