What support exists for blind, deaf or neurodivergent visitors at major venues?
It exists, but it is arranged venue by venue, so ask before you book. For deaf visitors, the National Gallery of Ireland runs Irish Sign Language tours, the Guinness Storehouse provides sign language guides on its devices, and many theatres offer captioned or signed performances on named dates. For blind visitors, audio guides, tactile exhibits and guided description are strongest at the big Dublin and Belfast venues, including Titanic Belfast and the Giant's Causeway, where a portable hearing loop is carried on guided walks. For neurodivergent visitors, look for relaxed and sensory friendly sessions: the Guinness Storehouse runs them with sensory kits and maps, and Dublin Airport offers a Sunflower lanyard scheme and a bookable sensory room. The venue access page lists what runs and when.
