Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland, the sign reads yield in most areas, though in Gaeltacht (Irish language-speaking) areas, it reads géill slí ("Give Way") instead. Signs erected before 1997 and still in service read yield right of way. Use of the sign is similar to that of the UK "Give Way" sign.
