Irish Councils spend £8,000 repairing vandalised bilingual signs

Local councils in Northern Ireland have spent more than £8,000 in recent years repairing and replacing almost 60 vandalised bilingual signs. Both English and Irish are used on signage by several Irish villages and attacked by English supremacists. Bilingual signage is a central part of language revival. International best practice tells us increased visibility leads to increased normalisation & tolerance. Bilingual signage must be accompanied by awareness, historcial and local info campaign.
