Replacing Irish Language Street Signage Policy in Belfast - Amendment 3
Leave out all after ‘That this Assembly’ and insert:
‘recognises that the Irish language is a valuable part of our shared heritage and cultural diversity; notes the increasing interest in, and usage of, the Irish language from across our community; commends those who are promoting and teaching the language; supports steps to protect and promote indigenous languages, including through provision of dual language street signage, in line with best practice and international standards; believes that any process for bilingual signage should be fair, transparent and command the confidence of local residents; acknowledges that the 15 per cent threshold is appropriate to trigger further consideration of an application; further believes that signs should be erected where a majority of respondents to a survey are in favour; and calls on all local councils to take into account the wishes and views of local residents.’
