Should the North West 200 get more government funding?

Should the North West 200 get more funding from the government, more taxpayers' money? North West 200's Mervyn Whyte thinks the event doesn't get its fair share.

Should the North West 200 get more funding from the government, more taxpayers' money? North West 200's Mervyn Whyte thinks the event doesn't get its fair share. In the Belfast Telegraph today, he compares its treatment to that given to showpiece golfing events. And he says there should a level playing field. So is he right? Should the North West get more government support, despite all the dangers involved? Commentator Malachi O'Doherty and sports journalist Stephen Beacom debate.

Also on the programme, should the voting age be lowered? Stephen's new debate show The Top Table was filmed last night and as you'll see tonight, it shows that not all young people are not interested in politics. Stephen got the views of former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik and commentator Ruth Dudley Edwards.

And Stephen talks to Channel 4 news presenter Cathy Newman.
