Consultation Plans Announced To Introduce Irish Signage In L'Derry
Consultation plans have been announced to introduce Irish signage in L'Derry.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard said the bilingual signage introduced by Translink on buses along the Metro 10 corridor in Belfast have been well received.
He said: "I now want to look at the possibility of introducing similar signage in Irish in Derry city. I believe that the provision of this information would be welcomed by many in the city and would improve access to public services by Irish speakers.
"I have therefore asked Translink to take forward a public consultation on this issue, with a view to signage being in place in May this year. The consultation will formally launch in March following the completion of an Equality Impact Assessment and engagement with key stakeholders."
