City Councillors are to meet to discuss re-naming the Millennium Spire, and calling it the Nelson Mandela Pillar instead.

It's after a member of the public wrote to the Lord Mayor saying it would be a fitting tribute, especially because of its proximity to the Dunnes Stores where workers refused to handle fruit imported from apartheid South Africa.

Rules state a person must be dead 20 years before they can be honoured in this way, but a committee's to meet today to discuss whether to make an exception.
