Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has approved £150,000 funding to be ring-fenced for dual language road signage by majority vote after both unionist groupings voted against the funding.
The recommendations came within a report on expenditure proposals put before the Regeneration and Community Committee, and while the remainder was agreed, there was dissent on the dual language signage costings.
Ulster Unionist councillor Victor Warrington said: “I don’t want to get into a debate about this, and I appreciate it is policy, but it’s a policy we didn’t support. In a cost-of-living crisis, £150,000 per annum for two years in this current time is a lot of money.
