They've been dubbed "McMafia orders" after the hit BBC drama about international crime. And now there are calls for the introduction of Unexplained Wealth Orders here to give the police new powers to tackle organised crime

The powers - which already exist in Great Britain - haven't been introduced here because of the collapse of the Stormont Assembly 

The DUP want to put the legislation through Westminster - if an Executive isn't restored.

But are they really necessary? 

Stephen was joined by Brendan Mulgrew and loyalist commentator Jamie Bryson.
