TUV spokesman Glenn Moore said:
“The preposterous policy of Mid Ulster Council which has resulted in Irish language signage being erected on the basis of a single resident’s request is transparently in need of urgent reform.
“There is minimal demand in many places for this signage and – as the outrageous sums which have been spent on replacing signs shows – significant opposition to the marking out of large parts of the council area as belonging to a single community and culture.
“Mid Ulster Council frankly needs to wise up and spend ratepayers’ money on the priority of local people rather than squandering it in a fashion which only alienates local people.”
