Should having a baby stop you from entering a beauty competition?

Dearbhail Brogan says after entering the Miss Northern Ireland Competition she was told she was disqualified from attending a heat in Belfast because she had a daughter.

Should having a baby stop you from entering a beauty competition? Dearbhail Brogan says after entering the Miss Northern Ireland competition she was told she was disqualified from attending a heat in Belfast because she had a daughter. An acceptable rule? Or an inappropriate exclusion? Stephen talks to Dearbhail and gets the thoughts of commentators Tina Calder and Ant Miller.

Also on the programme, there's been surprise this morning at the news that Northern Ireland's attorney general is considering challenging the legality of a botched energy scheme that could cost taxpayers 拢490 million. John Larkin says he may bring a case against the Department for the Economy for introducing the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme before it went to the full Executive. UUP leader Mike Nesbitt has called the move a bizarre twist: "Just when you think the Renewable Heat Incentive fiasco could not get any stranger, we have, in effect, the Executive through its top legal advisor suing itself. This is dysfunctionality on an unprecedented scale." Stephen gets the views of legal expert Joshua Rozenberg.

And, uncle of missing L'Derry man Jack Graham talks about search for his nephew.
