'Correct' Irish to be used on all roadwork signs in Cork, insists council

Cork County Council had received a number of complaints that the Irish language wasn't being used on temporary signs, and if it was, it was often not spelt correctly

Cork County Council has adopted a guidance document to assist contractors with their obligations to the use of Irish in relation to temporary traffic management signs.

All utility companies and contractors applying for temporary road closure/traffic management licences in Co Cork will have to include signs at these places in both English and Irish.

Cork County Council is to insist from now on that the Irish language be used for all roadworks and that they be spelt correctly.
