A proposal to put up Irish language street signs across the whole of West Belfast's Gaeltacht Quarter has sparked angry exchanges between Alliance and nationalist parties at City Hall.
Sinn Féin accused Alliance at this week’s full meeting of Belfast City Council of “slowing down” the Irish language along with the DUP, after they opposed a proposal to treat the Gaeltacht as one bulk application, rather than go through the area street by street.
Sinn Féin argue that the move would save money and time in the context of a huge backlog of applications for Irish street signs in Belfast.
