Certainly, we can consider that as part of the scoping exercise. It would really maximise what it has brought to the area. I do not even think that I expected the huge positive reaction that there would be to the signs going up. People really noticed and welcomed the signage. It really reflects the growing interest in, and discussion around, the Irish language. It is so difficult to even get a space in an Irish language class now because there is such a thriving community that continues to grow. Initiatives such as this really bolster that and encourage more and more people to get involved. It is a good opportunity for us to build on what is already in place.
