Teresa Deevy may not be a familiar name to most people, but it should be. Born in 1894, the Waterford woman, who was deaf from the age of nineteen, was a successful dramatist and playwright. In the 1930s, six of her plays were performed on stage in the Abbey Theatre and her reputation as a brilliant and talented writer had critics referring to her as next Sean O'Casey and the ‘Irish Chekhov'. That was until, Ernest Blythe became artistic director of the Abbey in 1941 and declared his vision for the theatre to be incompatible with Deevy's work, putting an abrupt end to her growing career. The story of this forgotten playwright will be told in a new RTE documentary, created by performance artist Amanda Coogan. In this episode, Coogan speaks to Róisín Ingle about Deevy's life and legacy and why she should be celebrated. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Stacey is joined by Amanda Coogan to discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing automated clinical trial management solutions using RBM. Given our current environment, it is no surprise that pharma and device companies are doing everything possible to boost efficiencies. Increasing drug development and production in safe and effective ways, while limiting resources used and dollars spent can be a balancing act. This also applies to clinical trials. Adoption of a risk-based monitoring (RBM) approach may be the best method to support clinical studies while keeping an eye on compliance.   Resources from this episode: Oversight of Clinical Investigations — A Risk-Based Approach to Monitoring - Guidance for Industry (2013) A Risk-Based Approach to Monitoring of Clinical Investigations Questions and Answers - Draft Guidance for Industry (2019) Tackling the Challenges of Transitioning to Risk-Based Monitoring   About Our Guest: Amanda Coogan, Senior Customer Partnership Manager, Remarque Systems Amanda spent the first 12 years of her clinical research career in clinical operations for university hospitals and medical device firms supporting domestic and international studies.

Last September performance artist & Irish Sign Language interpreter Amanda Coogan spoke about what National recognition of ISL means to the Deaf Community. [Text for excerpt below] Amanda Coogan: As I was saying ISL is not legally recognised here in Ireland, it is in many European countries, in America and in western developed world and even in the under developed world some countries in under developed world as well. And more than and more than legal rights, access- information- in your preferred language as we might think the Irish Language act being debated in the North at the moment, how we use our first language Irish, here, it is much more fundamental in the Deaf community, it is much more fundamental, this ISL bill will allow them to go to the doctors and understand what the doctor is saying, to go to the bank and negotiate a mortgage to go to college and get access to tutors and lecturers and all these everyday things that if- because of your disability because of your lack of hearing it makes a big barrier to access these things without sign language interpreters. So this bill is super, super important for bridging these gaps that this community needs bridging and also the kind of amazing recognition that they are here and that they are enriching members of society, this gorgeous, multiplicity, ways of being, that this is a community that you couldn’t kill by banning sign language in the 50’s, by not allowing deaf people to marry all these kind of eugenic ideas that they’ve had- they couldn’t kill the community-it’s still here- and in some ways, this bill, will be a becoming for that, it will radically shift Deaf people’s perception of themselves but bringing some kind of national legal recognition as a language that has refused to die because actually human beings need to communicate and for these people trying to speak, trying to lip read just failed-to a natural language that is completely accessible for them which is ISL it is a unique-it is indigenous to Ireland, Britain has a different sign language-France has a different sign language- America has a different sign language because languages grow in the communities that use them. This is a beautifully pure language, it’s also linguistically gorgeous, it’s deliciously, it’s OTT ,over dramatic, reportage on the body, you have to be totally unashamed of anybody looking at you or your body, it really enriches Irish society, I would of course-advocate that-because it is my birth language-my first language but I don’t think I’m talking off the Richter scale there.
