Gavin Robinson says Sinn Féin want to 'squander money' on Irish signs
The Democratic Unionist Party leader, Gavin Robinson, has said the approval of Irish language signage at Grand Central Station was "bad process" but "that's not to suggest that this is a crisis" for the Stormont Féin Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins approved £150,000 for Irish language signs saying it was a "hugely positive development".However, Robinson said the minister "decided to squander" the money "in the absence of political discussion".Robinson also told the BBC's Nolan Show there were plans to amend the ticketing system to incorporate an Irish language option.
He said that would "require them to remove the foreign language options that are already inbuilt for tourists coming to Northern Ireland who don't have English as their first language", adding that was "a nonsense".
