Jump To Comment: 2 1The hearing is not being held in an area where deaf people are a large section of the population.
It would be crazy to try to cater for the disability of everyone in the area, but it would be normal practice to use Irish in a Gaeltacht area.
It's being held in english for the benefit of Shell and to make it difficult for those for whom Irish is their everyday language.
I notice a lot of references made in emails to the population of the towns and parishes which some would spin as being the only ones who should be included. I'd be amazed if there are no deaf people in that sample. Let me put it this way - you have deaf people in those communities of both languages. I think that adds 2 interpreters to the expenses.
