South Belfast: Bilingual street sign defaced on Cranmore Park

Lauren Elizabeth, who owns a local bridal shop, says she feels we live in a time where “everyone needs represented”.

“It shocks me, why can you not have both English and Irish on a sign,” she told BBC News NI.

“I do not see the point, this does not reflect any of the local business owners, we are mixed in our cliental. We like to be very inclusive in this area.”

An Irish speaker from the Republic of Ireland now living in the area, Niall Walsh, said he sits on the fence when it comes to bilingual signage.

“There is a difference on whether or not this should be up, but damaging this sign is a criminal offence.

“I am from the South and everywhere we have dual signs, it is normal, but if people do not agree they should vote to not have it up, this could be off the back of the marches and the time of year.”
