Irish Language: Protests over signs at Grand Central Station

“Translink hasn’t listened to us or a motion from Belfast City Council—we are saying John O Dowd has to intervene,” said Dr Ó Tiarnaigh.

“Our confidence in Translink to change this is very low at the minute.

“We need ministerial direction for Translink to do this. We have had two years of trying to get this over the line, and it’s now opened.

“We are right on the foot of the Gaeltacht community here, and that entire community has been excluded.”

A spokesperson for the Department for Infrastructure said: “Minister O’Dowd is committed to the visibility and promotion of Irish language across public services and in our society.

“He is continuing to engage with Translink in relation to Irish language signage at Grand Central Station and is confident that the matter can be resolved.”

Grand Central Station opened to the public on Sunday.

The £340m public transport hub has been built behind the previous bus and rail stations serving Belfast.
