Belfast City Council gave £357,000 of ratepayers money to this year's West Belfast Festival, Feile an Phobail. The figure has been obtained by the News Letter - after calls for the council to rethink it support. The festival has attracted criticism after video were shared online showing people waving IRA flags and it was headlined by controversial republican band the Wolfe Tones. Stephen was joined by UUP Alderman, Chris McGimpsey and political commentator Chris Donnelly.
