Today is Irish Sign Language Day! The 14th December marks the day that ISL was officially passed into law 7 years ago.

Show support today by wearing blue & watch out if you're around Dublin City Centre today, Trinity will be lit up in celebration!

Doing #12DipsInDecember for @Irishheart_ie
#Dip6 today at Portrane with stunning views across Dublin Bay. If you have a few euros to share, they’re going to an excellent cause. #HealthyHearts

Man and a woman I. The sea swimming. Text says “ I am doing 12 dips in December to protect hearts in Ireland.”

Me - a middle aged white woman - with wet blond hair visible under a red hat that says Irish Heart Foundation. She is smiling at the camera and wearing a pink towelling poncho on and is standing with her back to the sea.
