Whilst people do vote on local issues in Northern Ireland council elections, constitutional politics always plays a role.   

Nationalism, unionism and those who don’t describe themselves as either will fight it out for council seats. 

How are things shaping up for the parties, what tactics will they employ, and what are the issues they have chosen to fight the election on? 

Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Peter Donaghy, a data analyst with a keen interest in politics, and by Lee Reynolds, formerly Director of Policy for the DUP. 

The BelTel brings you some of Northern Ireland's top journalists, Allison Morris, Sam McBride and Suzanne Breen to name but a few, giving you the inside stories behind what is in the news. Presented by Ciarán Dunbar, the Bel Tel investigates, debates and informs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
