A Causeway Coast and Glens councillor has told colleagues proposing the flying of the Union flag all year round at a number of council buildings that someone has beaten them to it.
Councillors were debating a motion brought by DUP councillor Aaron Callan for the council to mirror a UK government policy of flying the Union flag on designated buildings for 365 days per year.
Limavady councillor Brenda Chivers told the Council s Corporate Policy and Resources Committee an unofficial Union flag was already flying outside the council building.
