Residents in the Sandy Row area of Belfast are set to protest against the installation of Irish language signage at the new Grand Central Station.
Over the past week, a row has erupted due to proposed plans to introduce dual language signage at the £340 million transport hub in South Belfast.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has been criticised for not bringing plans for the signs - which will cost an estimated £145,000 - to the Executive for consideration.

Residents in nearby Sandy Row have now organised a protest against installation of the dual language signage for Monday, April 14 at 8pm. In a poster being shared on social media for the rally due to be held at the King William III mural in Sandy Row, residents are urged to "make your voice heard" on the issue.
The poster adds: "No sham fight over Irish in Grand Central. Stop Sinn Fein's Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins on her solo run to force through Irish language signage at GCS."
Loyalist activist Jamie Bryson from the Unionist Voice Policy Studies (UVPS) group is attempting to secure a judicial review in the High Court in Belfast against the Department for Infrastructure, stating the decision was taken "without Executive approval."
The deputy First Minister has said the Infrastructure Minister has a "legal duty" to bring the dual signage sign decision to the Executive. Ms Little-Pengelly said the move for the signs did not “constitute value for money or good decision-making."
