Irishman's campaign for Disneyland Paris to include Irish language on popular ride pays off

An Irish man named Stuart McHugh successfully campaigned for the inclusion of the Irish language on signage at the 'It's a Small World' attraction at Disneyland Paris. After two years of advocacy, the park added Irish greetings 'Fáilte' at the entrance and 'Slán go Foill' at the exit of the ride. The attraction features animatronic dolls representing cultures worldwide, and McHugh highlighted the significance of incorporating Irish language alongside other global languages. He emphasized Ireland's historical contribution to the park's construction, particularly in creating the Big Thunder Mountain ride, and praised Disneyland Paris for recognizing the cultural importance of the Irish language.
