to mark and inform that Clondalkin is a Líonra Gaeilge.

REPORT:

The signage mentioned will be examined under the County Wide Signage Strategy and delivery roll out.  It cannot be promised that all the signage mentioned in this motion will be delivered under that project.  A hierarchy of signage will be decided for each Town including the Welcome Signage at the main entry points to the town.    But a proliferation of signage to everywhere cannot be erected.  Any signage that is agreed will comply with the Irish requirements under the Language Act.  The place names and road names placed on the signage must also be the recognised road name or place name on the Roads schedule.
