Calls To Scrap Gaelic Signs

As reported in the UK press earlier this week - even things of principle are being compromised in the face of the economic down-turn as a union has urged Highland Council to end "politically correct" initiatives such as bilingual Gaelic signage rather than cutting jobs. The authority has warned that hundreds of jobs will have to be cut over the next three years as a result of £60m budget cuts.

Unison spokesman Shane Manning said bilingual signage was one area where cuts could be made without job losses. The council has already agreed to make £13m worth of savings this year.

He went on to say; "Unison Highland branch have a mandate from our membership to oppose bilingual signing. It may not be a vast amount of money but it's one example of where money could be saved just now when there are more important things to be spending the money on."
