At the start of this month we installed Irish language signage at every Glider stop in Belfast city centre. Within days, it was removed. We’ve written to Translink demanding answers. The Irish language belongs in all of our city, not just west Belfast. An Ghaeilge Abú!

Irish language campaigner Dr Pádraig Ó Tiarnaigh has welcomed the Infrastructure Minister's decision to include Irish language signage at Belfast's Grand Central Station, describing it as "resolute action in practice." The An Dream Dearg spokesperson criticized the DUP's opposition to the signage as "reverting the tape" to 2017's "petty decisions," arguing that equal language provision reflects the Good Friday Agreement's commitments and serves the "ever-growing Irish language community" across Belfast.
