Rosie enjoys a pint of Dublin's famous export with a group of the city's deaf residents.

Rosie Benn journeys through five European capitals. Here, Rosie enjoys a pint of Dublin's most famous export with a group of the city's deaf residents.

Rosie Benn sets off on an epic adventure through five European capitals. As a young deaf woman who uses sign language, Rosie is keen to explore deaf culture in other countries. What is life like for the local deaf community and what are the highlights for deaf travellers seeking out a short city break?

Just a short hop from the UK, Rosie visits Ireland's thriving capital, Dublin. Showing her around the city is Wendy Murray, a campaigner for the rights of Irish Sign Language users. She explains that the language actually derives from France and there has been a long campaign for it to be legally recognised and protected by the Irish government.

They visit the Irish Deaf Village - an impressive complex of buildings, housing various deaf charities and organisations, including a church. Here Rosie joins in with the fun of a garden fete and gets a sense of how the deaf community pull together to ensure no-one is left isolated. Rosie's next stop is the Irish broadcaster RTE to see how they have committed to producing news bulletins in Irish Sign Language. But how will she get on when she is invited to have a go at presenting them herself?

Finally, she heads to a lively bar to experience the famous black stuff and the legendary craic for herself.
