A chara, – I agree with Aifric Murray (June 16th) that our signs in Irish should be clear and accurate. Just this weekend I came across a road traffic sign at Cladnach, An Cheathrú Rua, which warned motorists of "No road markings" ahead and in Irish "Ná marcáil bóthair" – don't mark road! Whatever about errors in make-do notices outside pubs for "ceol agus craic" sessions and the like, there is no excuse for public authorities making such asinine mistakes in official signage.
And, adding insult to injury in this case, was its location in the heart of the Gaeltacht.– Is mise,
