Brexit and NI
Household spending in Northern Ireland will be damaged by inflation linked to Brexit. Levels of foreign direct investment could also suffer due to uncertainty created by the exit. And manufacturers based in Northern Ireland could shift operations to the Republic to take advantage of freely available migrant labour. Just some of the concerns about Brexit that business leaders here have put to a House of Lords enquiry.
A clampdown on low skilled immigration would be a "significant issue" for the Northern Ireland agri-food industry a House of Lords committee has been told.
Belfast Bins
Listeners have been getting in touch about the new bin collection days in Belfast. You're confused. What day do you leave it out? Why hasn't the rubbish been lifted on the new designated day and are letters ever going to be sent out spelling out the changes?
Abortion
Amnesty International will hand in a petition of over 45,000 names to the Northern Ireland Assembly this morning calling for abortion law reform here. They've also carried out a poll that found three quarters of people in Northern Ireland want abortion to be available in cases of rape and incest and when the foetus will not survive outside the womb.
