Deaf Irish Woman fights for her right to sit in a jury

a Deaf Irish woman was excluded to serve in a jury based on the rationale of a 20 something year old law that outlines specs who can't be eligible to be a Jurist - mental illness, blindness, old age, deafness, and so on. An Irish counterpart of America's Legal Aid (or ACLU?) is supporting Mrs Clarke's fight to be a jurist. The Irish Independent article also noted that in the States, these challenges were met but the British rejected them.
