In September Conradh na Gaeilge invited me to present with them to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Arts, Sport, Tourism, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

I welcomed the opportunity to highlight the issues with Ireland’s road signs, not only from the point of view of the Irish language (which suffers in the arrangement of our current signs), but also the weaknesses of the design for English-speaking users and in particular concerns for an ageing population.

I’m pleased to say the presentation was very well received and member TDs and Senators gave very favourable feedback. I hope to have the opportunity to present to some of their colleagues in the near future.
