If they only speak English, why would the same info in Irish confuse them?</p><br /><p>Surely they should read the English bit and be done? And if not, surly they realise it’s the same info but in Irish.</p><br /><p>So how many do you think will read the English “give way”, then look at the Irish bit and gets confused as to what it could possibly mean and get into an accident because of it?</p><br /><p>You…“<em>clutters up the real information”</em></p><br /><p>It would be the same info though. But again, if said person only speaks English, why would they even try and read the rest that is in Irish or as you suggest, read the rest and get confused about what the ‘real info’ is and get in an accident……..</p><br /><p>What are the stats on accidents caused by bi-lingual signs and the confusion they cause?</p>
