Calls for a council investigation after pro-IRA chanting at Wolfe Tones show at the publicly-funded Feile an Phobail festival. 

There have been calls for an investigation after pro-IRA chanting was heard at the publicly-funded west Belfast festival for the second year running. Irish rebel music band The Wolfe Tones played a headline gig in front of more than 10,000 people at Feile an Phobail in Falls Park on Sunday night.

Footage has emerged which appears to show some in the crowd involved in chants including "Up the Ra".

The incident has sparking anger from unionist politicians, who have called for the Wolfe Tones to be barred from future festivals.

Stephen talked to Kevin Gamble Director Féile an Phobail, Maria Cahill former SDLP Councillor and UUP Councillor Jim Rodgers.

Also on the programme, fallout of Saturday's Apprentice Boys parade continues as flute band believe that their detention was unlawful.
