Belfast City Councillors to discuss removal of flags and banners from around the city

Belfast City councillors will meet this morning to discuss the removal of flags and banners from around the city.
In July, the council voted to take legal action against the Department for Infrastructure to force it to remove flags and banners from public property such as lampposts.
But it stepped back after receiving legal advice that the removal of flags would impact mainly on the loyalist community.
The councillors are meeting again to decide what to do next - and legal action is still an option.
Joining Stephen was the commentators Jamie Bryson and Malachi O'Doherty
