Audio interview with Brian Rowan, security journalist, and Malachi O'Doherty, journalist and broadcaster, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 3 December 2013. Earlier that day it was revealed that Richard Haass had asked the five principal political parties to respond to the idea of a new flag for Northern Ireland as part of his talks on flags, parading and the past. The story was publicised one year to the day that Belfast City Council voted to only fly the Union flag above City Hall on designated days rather than the entire calendar year. Rowan and O'Doherty discuss the Haass suggestion. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
