A controversial proposal by Belfast Council to put Irish language signage at Olympia Leisure Centre in South Belfast has been put to public consultation this week.
In September 2021, a council committee passed a Sinn Féin proposal to erect bilingual external naming and internal directional signage at Olympia Leisure Centre by 12 members to six, with one abstention.
The Strategic Policy and Resources Committee also agreed that a report on linguistic accessibility at Lisnasharragh and Templemore Leisure Centres be submitted to a future meeting, and that a multilingual welcome sign be erected in the entrance/reception area of all leisure centres.
