Tourist trail signs ARE authorised - KCC
KILDARE GENERAL, 30 July: by Brian Byrne. 'Tourist Route' signs which have been erected across the county are NOT 'unauthorised', according to Kildare County Council, who provided the signs in a joint project with KELT, the Kildare Leader II company.
A spokesman for the council told KNN that the signs are 'exempted developments' as they are road signs, and that the council had agreed to their provision in 1999.
Last week, Deputy Emmet Stagg suggested the signs were 'semi-official litter' and asked that those who erected them be prosecuted by the Litter Warden for each sign. he also said they were poorly designed.
