The Irish News today carries a story that Newry and Mourne councillors have voted to name a new block of flats Cois Locha, which translates as Waterside, despite being informed that to so do would be breaking the law.
As it stands the flats should be named in English and an Irish sign can subsequently be erected if a majority of residents wish to do so.
