THE Union flag should be flown over all council offices on certain days, according to an Ulster Unionist amendment to a bill passing through Stormont.
UUP MLAs Tom Elliott and Danny Kinahan tabled an amendment to the Local Government Bill yesterday.
The amendment said that the Union flag should be flown at the "offices of any council as a minimum on the days on which and at the times at which they are required to be flown at United Kingdom government buildings in Northern Ireland".
The amendment also stated that no other national flag should be flown at any council office.
Belfast City Council voted in December 2012 to restrict the flying of the Union flag over city hall.
Loyalists took part in hundreds of protests, some of them violent, in the weeks following the vote.
