What happens

Hands On is the TV programme for deaf and hard-of-hearing people in Ireland. The programme airs twice a month on Sunday on RTÉ One, Ireland's national public service broadcaster. Hands On first aired on RTÉ in 1996. Its predecessor, Sign of the Times, aired on RTÉ from 1988 to 1995. Hands On is produced by a mixed deaf and hearing team and there are nine presenters working on the programme, who present the programme through Irish Sign Language (ISL), the first language of the deaf community in Ireland. The programme is also subtitled with an English voice-over. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
