Vol. 402 No. 9

Written Answers. - Bilingual Signposting in Public Offices.

Gerry O'Sullivan

Ceist:

77 Mr. G. O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Social Welfare the reason signs at new employment exchanges are not bilingual; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is conscious of the need to provide bilingual signposting at its public offices. The external signs at all new offices are bilingual. However, because of the considerable amount of information given on signs, notices and posters inside the offices, the provision of bilingual signposting internally presents a difficulty. I have asked for a review of internal signposting arrangements to see what improvements can be made.
