Have bus lanes been driving you round the bend?

Stormont officials are set to be quizzed by Belfast City Council over bus lane chaos - have bus lanes been driving you round the bend?

Two Belfast city councillors have called for a £1 million bus lane to be scrapped saying they have grave concerns about the traffic congestion it is causing. Earlier this year, it was revealed that bus lane cameras in Belfast had collected more than £2.5 million since June 2015. But the camera which made most money is the one monitoring the bus lane on Donegal square east, with a whopping £1 million from frustrated car owners. Now Ulster Unionist councillors Jim Rodgers and Jeff Dudgeon have put forward a motion calling for the bus lane to be scrapped. Their UUP colleague Chris McGimpsey joined Vinny this morning along with environmental journalist Jeff Gazzard.

Also on the programme, benefit fraud in Northern Ireland amounts to around £29 million per year. Last year 300 cases went through the courts. But what exactly is benefit fraud and how does it happen? Here's a question for you would you report someone you suspected of benefit fraud or would you leave it all to the people tracking them down? Vinny has been speaking to Conrad McConnell, assistant director of benefit security at the Department for Communities, and we got reaction from businessman Irwin Armstrong and commentator Malachi O'Doherty.
