Just 3 per cent of residents on over 500 streets in Belfast are actively against dual Irish and English signs in the city while nine in ten support them. That’s according to new research from Conradh na Gaeilge.  It comes as the PSNI are investigating “hate-motivated” damage to a street sign with Irish on it in east Belfast. 

We discuss further with Ciaran Mac Giolla Bhéin, Coordinator of the West Belfast Language Plan and President of Conradh na Gaeilge and Ben Lowry, Editor of the Belfast Newsletter.
