Useful Phone Services
Irish Text Relay Service (ITRS)
The ITRS is an enhanced text relay service that enables the translation of text into voice and voice into text to facilitate a person that is deaf or hard of hearing in making and receiving calls. These calls are relayed through an ITRS agent who performs the translation. The service is accessible from mobile phones, tablets and PCs, enabling conversations through text. The ITRS app is available for Android and IOS devices. You can use the ITRS service on a PC or laptop through a link on the ITRS web site. The original text relay service continues to be supported through dedicated Minicom devices without the need to make any changes.
