Comharthaí Sráide Dátheangacha
Dual language Street Signs

Belfast City Council has simplified the process for residents to apply to have their street signs in both Irish and English. And all it takes is a simple email request from one resident of any street to start the process off.

On receiving the request, City Council will survey the residents of the street, to ask them if they want a dual language street sign. As long as a number of residents (15% or more) who are on the electoral register want to have bilingual signs erected in their street, then the Council will put them up.

Tá simpliú déanta ag Comhairle Cathrach Bhéal Feirste ar an phróiseas ina dhéanann cónaitheoirí iarratas ar chomhartaí sráide dhátheangacha a fháil. Níl le déanamh ach iarratas ó chónaitheoir amháin ó sráid ar bith leis an phróiseas a thoiseach.

I ndiaidh iarratas a fháil, déanfaidh an Comhairle suirbhé ar na cónaitheoirí ar an tsráid, le fáil amach an bhfuil na comharthaí ag teastáil uathu. Fhad is go bhfuil níos mó na 15% de chónaitheoirí, atá cláraithe ar an chlár toghthóirí, ar son na gcomharthaí dhátheangacha, cuirfidh an Comhairle in airde iad.

With a bilingual street name you can use either the Irish or the English version – the choice is entirely yours.  Your post will be delivered whichever version you use.

If you wish to apply for a dual language street sign, you can use the following template – feel free to copy and paste, simply adding your details – and send to the following address. (you can click on this and it should open on your device)

Le ainm sráide dhátheangach, is féidir an leagan Gaeilge nó an leagan Béarla a úsáid - do chomhairle féin. Seachadfar do chuid phoist i gcás ar bith.

Más maith leat iarratas ar chomharthaíocht dhátheangach a chuir isteach, thig leat an creatlach thíos a úsáid - tá fáilte romhat é a chóipeáil, le do shonraí féin curtha leis, agus é a sheoladh chuig an seoladh seo. (is féidir cliceáil air agus fosclóidh seo ar do ghléas féin é)
