Hello and welcome to the Irish History Podcast.

My name is Finn Duar and this is a history of the death community in Ireland.

What you heard at the start of the show is some of the death community in Ireland. What you heard at the start of the show is some of the fascinating stories that lie ahead of us today.

The term forgotten history is one bandied around a lot not least by myself,

but this episode is on what is a forgotten or ignored chapter in

Irish history. Prior to making this show, I knew very little about the history of Ireland's

the death community. Indeed, there was no way I could have made an episode

like this by myself. I have however interviewed Korme-Mc Leonard from Trinity College Dublin, who is a historian who

focuses on the history of Ireland's deaf community.

We talked on a range of topics from how deaf people were treated in the past, true to how they

engaged in Ireland's political movements such as the struggle for independence.

The fascinating answers to all those questions are ahead of us.
