Did you know that there are lots of great RTÉjr/ RTÉ Kids shows with Irish Sign Language (ISL) for everyone to enjoy? RTÉ's ISL interpreters are always working hard to sign new shows.

ISL Awareness Week and International Week of Deaf People (IWDP) run from 22 to 28 September and to mark the occasion RTÉjr will have over 18 hours of ISL content across the 7 days. But, on RTÉ Player you can stream lots more any day any time by turning on the ISL option.
