There has been a call for Belfast to host the Eurovision Song Contest after Ukraine is deemed unable to host the event.
Belfast councillors Anthony Flynn and Seamas De Faoite have written to the Chief Executives of Belfast City Council and Visit Belfast saying that the city should be considered as a host for Eurovision if it is to be held in the UK next year.
The European Broadcasting Union has said that it will start discussions with the BBC following the announcement that recent winners Ukraine are unable to hold the event, as the UK was the runner-up with singer Sam Ryder.
