Corporation tax cuts - who wins, who loses?

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Corporation tax cuts - who wins, who loses?

What impact do low rates have on the developing world?

The finance minister at Stormont intends to cut corporation tax in 2018. Who benefits? Who loses?

The Stormont Executive has signalled it intends to cut corporation tax rates in the spring of 2018. What impact does low rates have on the economy at home, and do they further increase the divide between the west and the developing world? Roisin McAuley's guests include a politician, an economist and an overseas charity representative.
 
Also on the programme - flags and emblems - what place, if any, do they have in churches? Two ministers, the Reverend Trevor Boyd from First Rathfriland Presbyterian Church and the Reverend David Montgomery, who is director of Christian Unions Ireland, put their quite different positions on the Sunday Sequence table.
 
 
We learned this week that a 14-year-old girl, who died last month, had her body cryogenically frozen with the permission of the high court. We'll hear a Christian response but also the view of a historian of science.
 
Is there really no rest for the wicked, are you at your wits' end and just about in the land of the living? You probably use some, or all, of those sayings everyday - but did you know they all come from the Bible? A whole host of bible-inspired sayings have been gathered in a book titled More Everyday Sayings & The Bible. Author Alan McIlwaine details his search for the stories.
 
It's a long way from the Golan Heights to the Boyne Valley -  that's the journey made by Father Robert McCabe, now curate in a parish,  after 20 years a chaplain in the Irish army. 
 
Belfast, Béal Féirste, the mouth of the Farset - you probably all know the derivation of the city's name - but how do other cities get their names? And what's the essence of a city - as opposed to a large town. Dejan Sudjic, (Sud-gitch) Director of the Design Museum, is author of "The Language of Cities".
