Lifetime of working to improve status of the deaf - Article via The Irish Times This is the story of a life-time's work in the stillness in which the deaf live, opening doors and windows of perception for them, putting language within their grasp, making God's saving word accessible to them; helping them develop the priceless ability to communicate.  Sister Nicholas Griffey was born in Ennis, Co Clare in 1916 and has made a major contribution to the care of the deaf in the Irish Republic. Not that her influence was limited to Ireland. At Cabra, Dublin, she and her Dominican Sisters built a centre for the education of the deaf which soon acquired an enviable international reputation. Deaf children were sent there from all over Ireland and beyond. Teachers of the deaf, religious and lay were trained there. From Cabra other Dominican Sisters went to South Africa, Australia and the USA where they established schools in the Cabra mould. The book tells how one woman inspired and directed the dedication of deaf and hearing teachers, campaigning tirelessly the while for better facilities and earlier, nationwide diagnosis of deafness in children. It recounts the selfless, time-consuming collaboration of scores of religious and lay people in a work of which all those involved can be justifiably proud.
