Deputy O'Rourke has raised an interesting point. I recall the year before last having very lengthy meetings with our road safety teams on this very issue, with proposals for amended typology. There has been detailed and extensive research and investigation to see whether greater or equal prominence be given to the Irish language. I do not have the evidence in front of me but I remember a very strong and clear view that the existing system is optimal for safety, ease of reading and a variety of reasons. If the Deputy tables an amendment on Report Stage, I will look forward to the opportunity to share the information. We will see what is possible.
