Selina Bonnie: A Champion for Disability Access

The Irish Deaf Society (IDS) is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Selina Bonnie, a remarkable advocate for disability access. Selina dedicated her life to championing the rights of the Deaf community, working tirelessly to promote Irish Sign Language (ISL) and ensure the inclusion of Deaf individuals in all aspects of society.

Selina’s legacy is one of unwavering commitment and passion. Throughout her career, she fought for equal opportunities and accessibility for the Deaf community. Her efforts were instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of ISL and advocating for its recognition as an official language in Ireland.

Born and raised in Dublin, Selina faced numerous challenges growing up as a Deaf individual. However, she never allowed these obstacles to define her. Instead, she channeled her experiences into a determination to make a difference. Selina’s journey led her to become a prominent figure in the disability rights movement, inspiring countless others with her resilience and dedication.

As a tireless advocate, Selina worked closely with the Irish government, organizations, and communities to improve accessibility for Deaf individuals. She played a pivotal role in developing policies and initiatives that aimed to remove barriers and ensure equal opportunities for all. Her contributions were recognized not only in Ireland but also on an international scale, where she shared her expertise and experiences with others around the world.

Selina’s impact extended beyond the realm of advocacy. She was a beloved wife to her husband, Rob, and a devoted mother to her daughter, Saira Noor. Selina’s family was her source of strength and inspiration, and she always emphasized the importance of family values and love in her work.

The loss of Selina will be deeply felt by her extended family, friends, and colleagues. Her passing leaves a void in the disability rights movement that will be difficult to fill. However, her legacy will continue to inspire and guide future generations of advocates, ensuring that her work lives on.

While the cause of Selina’s death remains unknown at this time, her impact and achievements are undeniable. The outpouring of condolences from the community is a testament to the profound influence she had on the lives of so many.
