ANOTHER bilingual street sign has been vandalised in Belfast, just days after the defacing of the Irish wording on a dual-language sign in the centre of the city.

The sign for Grangeville Gardens/Gairdiní Bhaile na Gráinsa at Finaghy Crossroads was pulled out of the ground and left lying on the road.

This latest effort at vandalism comes following the spray painting of a sign on Marcus Ward Street/Sráid Mharcais Mhic an Bhaird in the city centre.

Sinn Féin Councillor for Balmoral Natasha Brennan said that the damage created a "hazard for passing motorists".

“Damage was caused to a dual-language street sign on Grangeville Gardens late last night, with the sign ripped from the ground and thrown across the road, creating a hazard for passing motorists.

“A local resident removed the sign to make the area safe, and I have reported the damage to Belfast City Council and requested that repairs are carried out as soon as possible.

“This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable and deeply disappointing. 

“I would urge those responsible to stop this behaviour. Everyone in Finaghy should be able to feel welcome and have their identity and language respected.”
