THE group established in 2016 to examine the issue of flags and identity is scheduled to present its report to the Executive Office later this month.
The 15-member Commission on Flags, Identity, Culture and Tradition is expected to make a series of proposals relating to the display of flags and emblems. However, it is understood that the panel has been unable to make recommendations on all matters in its remit due to a lack of consensus.
The group includes seven political appointees with the remainder selected through a public recruitment process.
The commission was first proposed in 2014's Stormont House Agreement but was not established until June 2016.
Its work was suspended after the institutions collapsed in January 2017 but meetings resumed following the restoration of devolution in January.
The cost of the group's administration alongside fees and expenses for members is expected to be around £1 million.
The panel is co-chaired by Queen's University academic Dominic Bryan and independent member Neville Armstrong, who previously represented the DUP on a Social Investment Fund (SIF) steering group.
