Sofiya Kalinova: Ireland’s only deaf practicing barrister
Watching Sofiya Kalinova in action in court brings to mind an extremely socially distanced dance.
Ireland’s first deaf barrister fixes her eyes on Romy O’Callaghan, her Irish Sign Language (ISL) to English interpreter, who takes up a position near the judge and faces out to the courtroom. O’Callaghan’s hands are a flurry as she signs what is said from the bench and by other barristers.
