The blanket policy which would apply to 309 streets in west Belfast has been agreed by a council committee.
Plans for blanket bilingual street signs in west Belfast's Gaeltacht Quarter have been agreed by a Belfast City Council committee.
If that gains the support of 15% of residents on the electoral register it would go forward for approval by the council. "This will compliment the dynamic, community-led revival in the area, reinforce positive attitudes in relation to the language and demonstrate that this area has a vibrant bilingual community," he said.
"Considering over 90% of our placenames come directly from Irish, this is a linguistic restorative policy that will see Irish returning to areas and streets where it was previously banned," she said.
