Winifred Carney? Does the name mean anything to you? Try this one: Mary Ann McCracken. Those are two historical figures - both republicans - who Sinn Fein thinks should be celebrated with new statues at Belfast City Hall. Or perhaps you'd rather see City Council money spent on a memorial to the Belfast Blitz, when German air raids killed over 1,000 people in 1941? The United States is embroiled in a huge public debate over monuments dedicated to leading figures from the Confederacy, a regime which enslaved African-Americans. Some statues have already been torn down - is it time for some of our monuments to be mothballed, in the name of community relations? UUP councillor Jeff Dudgeon, who is campaigning for a Blitz memorial, Sinn Fein councillor Deirdre Hargey, who is backing a statue to Winifred Carney and the Alliance Party's deputy leader on Belfast City Council, Sian O'Neill, joined Stephen to discuss.

Also on the programme, free travel for spouses and partners - is this an acceptable perk of a job at Translink? Brian O'Neill of Slugger O'Toole and Ben Lowry, deputy editor of the News Letter joined Stephen to discuss.

And, Ashbrooke Care Home closed over 'serious risk to life'. Stephen got reaction from Evelyn Hoy, chief executive to the Commissioner for Older People.
