Irish Rail should really think about hiring an Irish speaker...

They’ve got it wrong TWICE.

LAST WEEK, we posted a photo of a ‘stay behind this line’ station sign in Thomastown, Co Kilkenny that was not quite right.

Well, it’s not the only one. Áine Ní Ghráda sent us this photo of the same sign in Drogheda, Co Louth.

Which also misses the mark, but in a slightly different way…

(Both signs should read “Fan taobh thiar den líne seo”.)

This train station sign in Kilkenny is so wrong, but can you tell why?>
