Calls for Lord Mayor of Belfast, John Finucane, to consider his position this morning after he was sanctioned by the police for urinating in the street. 

Mr Finucane was spoken to by police after being stopped in the centre of Belfast in June. He apologised yesterday.

Mr Finucane confirmed he had accepted a community resolution notice for indecent behaviour.

"I am of course very embarrassed and deeply sorry about this incident and I apologise unreservedly," he said.

Speaking yesterday Sinn Fein vice-president Michelle O'Neill said the issue is now "done and dusted"
