NI councils spend more that £130k entering competitions - is it money well spent?

Councils across Northern Ireland have spent more than £130,000 of ratepayers' cash since 2017 cash entering themselves into awards competitions.

The spending included entering awards to recognise well-managed public parks, gongs to celebrate publicity and marketing, and the "Loo of the Year Awards".

The figures were obtained by an Irish News freedom of information request.

Vinny was joined by Belfast City Cllr Jim Rodgers and commentator Frank Shivers. 

Plus, Police launch investigation after off-duty officer was confronted at his front door by masked gunman. 

Also on the programme, is a stand-alone Irish language act still a red line for Sinn Féin in Stormont talks? Would you go Vegan for January?
