A row has erupted after a DUP councillor made what some have called 'sexist remarks' at last night's Belfast City Council meeting.

A row has erupted after a DUP councillor made what some have called 'sexist remarks' at last night's Belfast City Council meeting. Councillor Graham Craig remarked on the 'pleasure' of seeing the council's chief executive 'whizzing past him' on her bike in the mornings. He said it 'does quicken up one's step slightly'. So was it a harmless comment, or just another example of the everyday sexism that women face in the workplace? Stephen got the views of journalist Fionola Meredith and commentator Niamh Horan.
