Minister announces change to motorway signs

Ireland could be getting new road signs.

The National Transport Authority is considering a re-design of Ireland's motorway signs to give a greater emphasis to the Irish language.

The new signs, unveiled by the Transport Minister Leo Varadkar, would display English and Irish placenames in the same size, but in different colours.

However, there will be no extra cost to taxpayers, as the new signs will only go up whenever existing ones need replacing.
