Motion text
That this House deplores the partisan and divisive Irish language policy imposed by Belfast City Council; is concerned about the divisive and political use of the Irish language within Northern Ireland; notes that the Belfast Agreement (page 19 Art 4) recognises that the use of Irish language should be consistent with the level of demand from local residents; further notes that streets in which demand for Irish language signage is as low as 15 per cent have been given signage in Irish; and regrets that public buildings and facilities in unionist areas are being rebranded with dual signage and that employees are to be forced to wear Irish-branded staff uniforms without consent.
