The contentious flagpole in Magherafelt has been dismantled - again.

LISTEN: Sinn Fein MP Francie Molloy speaks with Q radio's Roger Donnelly.

It's after the union flag was erected by members of the British Truth Forum in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

18 months ago councillors voted to remove it in a bid to provide a shared space which angered unionists in the town.

In a video circulating on social media last night, it appears to have been cut down.
