Face down, drunk and unconscious - nightclub promo blasted as 'shameful', 'irresponsible' and a worry for parents.

Promotional material from the Coach nightclub has targeted school aged children encouraging them to get so drunk that they pass out unconscious. The nightclub promotion for an A-level results party last night has been blasted as 'shameful', 'irresponsible' and a worry for parents. People contacting this programme hit out at the poster campaign for the 'Project X' party at the Coach nightclub, Banbridge. The image shows a young male lying face down in the grass surrounded by empty beer cups - encouraging young people to take doubles for 拢5. Stephen got reaction from commentator Fionola Meredith, GP Dr George O'Neill, Colin Neill from Hospitality Ulster, DUP MLA Jim Wells, SDLP MLA Dolores Kelly and we took your calls.

Also on the programme, police are treating the display of flags and banners on a bonfire in the Bogside as a 'hate incident'. Banners and flags about Soldier F - the ex-British soldier who is facing prosecution for two murders on Bloody Sunday were set alight last night. Stephen spoke to Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton who gave his reaction.

And, new research for the 麻豆社 shows that 'Back to School' spending topped 拢1.1 billion. Labour MP Emma Hardy has called on schools to 'poverty proof' their policies. Currently there is no legislation in place on the cost of school uniforms but recently the Welsh Government has taken the step of making it a statutory requirement for schools to ensure their uniforms are affordable. Is that something that we should be considering here? Stephen spoke to Northern Ireland Children's Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
