City flag policy raised by MLA
DUP MLA Gregory Campbell has asked about the flag policies at Ebrington Square and Guildhall Square in Londonderry.
He asked the First Minister and Deputy First Minister whether they will “seek discussions with the City Council and the Department for Regional Development (DRD) to ensure that whatever status applies to Ebrington also applies to Guildhall Square.” Mr Campbell specifically asked about Ebrington Square “in terms of flags being displayed at events.”
But the OFMDFM Ministers said two separate policies applied, explaining: “OFMDFM is working closely with Ilex on the development of Ebrington. Events at Ebrington Square are currently governed by the Ilex Policy for Third Party Events at Ebrington (incorporating the Peace Bridge). This is an Ilex policy and not an OFMDFM one. “Events at Guildhall Square are governed through a permit system operated by DCC and are outside the remit of our Department.”
