Statement by TUV Moyola council candidate Glenn Moore:
“The erection of new Irish language signage in Mill Park, Tobermore, is neither needed nor wanted. In fact, it has a negative impact on community relations as many local people will see it as an attempt to brand the park.
“This is, frankly, a pathetic attempt by Mid Ulster Council to rub the minority Unionist community’s noses in Republicanism. This is only resulting in increased community tension quite apart from the additional unnecessary expense of ratepayers’ money”.
