I may be a few months late posting up on this topic, but I only found it now.
I have no problem in theory with the Barr 50 awards, but I disagree that some of the receipents should have gotten any awards, namely Habitat and Tesco- but also Bank of Ireland. Habitat have ridiculously small Irish language signage that was paid for by Foras na Gaeilge (that campaign is another story), and they got an award??? Does that make anyone else go, cén fáth????
Tesco are good for Irish, but until they have comhstádas or equal status in their signage in all of their stores- not just some- I don't think that they should have got one.
Gaelteic may have deserved one, list most of the receipents, but to include stupid examples makes a mokery of the event.
I hope that this is not going to be an annual event- otherwise it will just become TOO contrived! What next, giving the local ice-cream man an award because he says "Go raibh maith agat" now and again???
