Conradh seeks greater prominence for Irish on road signs

Conradh na Gaeilge is holding a series of protests around the country today in a bid to persuade the Government to give the Irish language greater prominence on road signs.

The organisation wants all signs to be made fully bi-lingual and says this would promote the language as well as benefit the tourist industry.

Conradh says road signs are a form of branding for the country and a part of Ireland's self image and greater prominence for Irish placenames would send a message that the language is part of the country's identity.
