MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

To ask the manager to clarify why recent road signage is displaying the official Irish name version for Adamstown incorrectly as 'Maigh Arnaí' as opposed to Baile Adaim as recorded with logainm.ie?

REPLY:

The correct official place names are available on the Logainm.ie data base.  If road signage has been erected with the wrong Irish translation then this will rectified shortly.  Contractors/developers are supposed to check with the traffic department prior to the approval of road signage.  The correct procedure is: Contractor to inform SDCC of the proposed naming of roads.  SDCC will check the Logainm database for existing named locations and for new names we will check with the official Irish translator in the Department before approval to erect the signage is given.
