The row in Co Clare over the removal by the National Roads Authority of road signs indicating hospitality and catering locations has spread to the northeast, writes Patsy McArdle.
Councillors in Co Monaghan claim the Border county is losing trade revenue because of the failure by the authority to provide adequate road signage to towns and villages along the M1 Dublin-Belfast motorway and the N2 Dublin-Derry route.
Monaghan County Council has called for a review of the signage by the Government.
The president of Castleblayney Chamber of Commerce, hotelier Patrick McFadden, has also urged the hospitality sector to lobby the roads authority to approve adequate signage for hotels, guesthouses, lakes and other centres of interest.
