The transport minister Chris Hazzard is proposing to extend the times of bus lanes on some of Belfast's busiest commuting routes. In a bid to develop a faster public transport route from west to east Belfast through the city centre as part of the Belfast Rapid Transit scheme. Stephen talks to the minister and gets the views of environmental campaigner Jeff Gazzard, businessman Frank Shivers and we take your calls.

Also on the programme, another interview now around the Cash for Ash scandal. This is an interview with a man involved in fitting the non-domestic biomass boilers at the heart of this story. Stephen has been speaking to Paddy, and began by asking him about what he used to do.

And, "F*** Stephen Nolan" - that was the message to Stephen after yesterday's show. It came after we reported how people had already started collecting wood for the annual 11th night bonfires, in January, six months before the 12th. Pallets were left at two places in east Belfast - the Connswater Greenway near Avoneil and the Cregagh estate. But some people aren't happy that we were highlighting what some people see as a blight on their communities. Stephen talks to Ulster Unionist councillor Jim Rodgers.

Plus, you may have noticed a new billboard in Belfast claiming that 100,000 people are alive in Northern Ireland today because the Abortion Act 1967 was not implemented here. It's part of a campaign called Both Lives Matter a new collaborative movement of individuals and organisations seeking to reframe the abortion debate in Northern Ireland. Dawn McAvoy is part of the campaign, she joined Stephen along with Emma Campbell from the Alliance for Choice.
