flag Belfast Council to vote on Irish language signs, funded by savings, sparking debate over support and safety.

flag Belfast City Council is set to vote on a Sinn Féin-backed Irish language policy that would introduce bilingual English-Irish signage, logos, and staff training, funded by £1.9 million in savings. flag The measure, aimed at promoting linguistic diversity, has sparked debate, with the DUP opposing it over safety concerns, lack of cost analysis, and claims it undermines local preferences, as only 12% of approved signs had majority resident support. flag Sinn Féin maintains the changes are modest, gradual, and consistent with the Good Friday Agreement.
