Question 1236: To ask the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 249 of 6 December 2006, if the statutory directions given to the road authorities obliges the authorities to provide bi-lingual placename signs in all cases. [1312/07]

The statutory directions given in the Traffic Signs Manual requires that placenames in Gaeltacht areas be displayed on traffic signs in Irish only.

In the case of placenames elsewhere it is required that these be displayed in bi-lingual format. However, in the instance where a placename has the same spelling in both Irish and English, the requirement is that the only the version in the Irish text format be displayed.
