A Sinn Féin MLA has said vandalism of Irish language road signs in Co Tyrone over the weekend shows 'the need for protection of Irish language rights through legislation'.

The signs, at Killyliss Road in Dungannon and Annaghroe in Caledon appeared to have been damaged by burning, with what looks like scorch marks blotting out the Irish language words.

Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA Colm Gildernew said: “This is the latest in a series of attacks on Irish language road signs across South Tyrone. There is no excuse for this type of vandalism and it cannot be tolerated.
