Comunn Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis

In a letter to the Inverness Courier Donald Morris, chair of Foram Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis, has stated that his organisation fully supports bilingual signage and that local councillors should accept them;  he notes that “Highland Council has voted on numerous occasions to use bilingual signage throughout the authority area”.

The letter ends with a stinging rebuke of those councillors who oppose the signage policies:

Their partisan and unreasonable behaviour flies in the face of the Gaelic Language Act and Highland Council’s own Gaelic Language Plan — both of which accept the place of Gaelic as a language deserving “equal respect” to English. It’s about time they showed some respect.
