In response to the question from the Deputy, my Department has signage in all its buildings in both the Irish and English language. This applies to both internal and external signs. A review of our signage was recently performed by An Coimisinéir Teanga and we await the results and recommendations of that review. There are no schools or third level institutions within the remit of my Department.
