A plaque with the words of ‘Galway Bay’ has been removed from a poetry trail which also features work by Bellaghy born Seamus Heaney.
It follows complaints about the standard of the Irish language translation of the song.
The stone was unveiled at Galway Bay last year.
It’s one of 20 cultural points on the trail.
Heaney’s poem ‘Girls Bathing, Galway 1965’ is cast in bronze and has been part of the Poetry Trail since 2006.
