Northern Ireland council wants DUP's Foster to act over Gregory Campbell's Songs of Praise comments

The decision was taken at a meeting of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.

Stephen McCann, Sinn Fein.
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has voted in support of a motion on Partition, which caused controversy last month when then Chair, Councillor Chris Smyth refused to allow it on the agenda, leading to fury in the chamber.
Rumours of a no-confidence vote were quickly quashed when the Chair opened the December meeting by announcing he was standing down mid-term and handing over to party colleague Councillor Diana Armstrong.
