Days like this - the building of bridges at Ballynafeigh. Is that a template for the future?
It was a cultural visit with a twist! On Saturday members of GAA club Bredagh GAC visited the Ballynafeigh Orange Hall on the Ormeau Road in south Belfast.
It was a cultural visit with a twist! On Saturday members of GAA club Bredagh GAC visited the Ballynafeigh Orange Hall on the Ormeau Road in south Belfast. All of this comes just one week after Arlene Foster became the first DUP leader to attend the Ulster GAA final. So what is the significance of all this? Did you ever expect you'd see days like this? Vinny got the views of commentator Patricia MacBride and member of the Orange Order David McNarry.
Also on the programme, a hosepipe ban took effect in Northern Ireland on Friday - the first such move in over 20 years. With the recent spell of warm weather, suppliers say we're using around a third more water than normal. NI Water has appealed for people not to use water for washing cars, filling pools, or sprinkling gardens, as supply failures have already hit some areas. So - how long will it last? How can such a ban be enforced? And would you shop your neighbour if they were using a hose? Vinny spoke to NI Water Chief Exec Sara Venning and Green Party Cllr Rachel Woods.
And, playing soldiers - the critics who think Armed Forces Day is not a place for children. Vinny got the views of Symon Hill from Peace Pledge Union - he was part of a group that protested at Saturday's event - and the UUP MLA Steve Aiken who before politics served in the Royal Navy.
All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
