‘Cuirfidh comharthaíocht dhátheangach na Ceathrún Gaeltachta borradh faoi athbheochan fhuinniúil na Gaeilge’ – Sheehan
Chuir CTR Shinn Féin, Pat Sheehan, fáilte roimh fhógra an Aire Bonneagair, John O’Dowd, maidir le scéim phíolótach comharthaíochta tráchta dátheangach, a úsáidfidh comharthaí sráide agus marcálacha bóthair trí Ghaeilge agus Bhéarla araon, i gcodanna de Cheathrú Ghaeltachta iarthar Bhéal Feirste.
Dúirt CTR iarthar Bhéal Feirste:
“Is dea-scéala é go bhfuil scéim phíolótach fógartha ag an Aire Bonneagair John O’Dowd inniu ina mbeidh comharthaíocht tráchta dhátheangach agus marcanna bóthair curtha in airde i gcodanna den Cheathrú Ghaeltachta.
“Tá an Ghaeilge faoi bhláth ar fud Cheathrú Ghaeltachta iarthar Bhéal Feirste agus ar fud an oileáin, is léir sin leis an líon is mó daoine ag foghlaim na Gaeilge.
“Cuirfidh an scéim seo borradh faoi athbheochan fhuinniúil na teanga, chomh maith leis sin, cuideoidh sé leanúint leis an athrú dearfach in iarthar Bhéal Feirste.
“Leanfaidh Sinn Féin ag obair go dian chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn agus chun feabhas a chur ar a feiceálacht ar fud an tuaiscirt.”
‘Gaeltacht Quarter bi-lingual signage will be a boost to energetic revival of Irish language’ – Sheehan
Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has welcomed Minister for Infrastructure John O’Dowd’s announcement of a pilot bi-lingual traffic signage scheme, using both Irish and English, in parts of west Belfast’s Gaeltacht Quarter.
The west Belfast MLA said:
“It’s great news that Minister for Infrastructure John O’Dowd has today announced a pilot scheme which will see bi-lingual traffic signage and road markings erected in parts of the Gaeltacht Quarter.
“Irish is flourishing throughout west Belfast’s Gaeltacht Quarter and indeed right across the island with record numbers of people choosing to learn the Irish language.
“This scheme will be a boost to the energetic revival of the language, as well as helping to continue with the positive transformation of west Belfast.
“Sinn Féin will continue working hard to promote the Irish language and to improve its visibility across the north.”
