The Minister for Transport may, under section 95 of the Road Traffic Act 1961, give general or particular directions to the road authorities in relation to traffic signs.
Directions are contained in the manual "Traffic Signs Manual 1996" in relation to the use of Irish and English on traffic signs. I am satisfied with these directions and I do not intend to make any amendment.
