Hands On Season 15 Episode 4

This episode of Hands On presents a fascinating feature dedicated to Deaf history and in particular the role St Joseph's School for Deaf Boys in Cabra played in the development of the Irish Deaf community. We also visit the Deaf Heritage Centre, on the grounds of St Joseph's, which has been collecting and preserving important teaching materials, stories, film footage and photos of the school's 150 years - from its establishment in 1856 to its closure in 2006.
