A Derry village may have fewer Christmas lights this year due to a row over flags.
A community group in Castledawson has been blocked from receiving the decorations from Magherafelt District Council by Sinn Féin councillors, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
The party said the lights would only be released if a policy on the flying of union flags in the town was agreed.
The DUP has accused them of playing politics with Christmas.
An investigation is under way at into the situation.
The lights were reportedly bought using a peace grant, backed by the council, for Christmas celebrations there last year.
The Belfast Telegraph adds that they remain the property of the council and are 'under lock and key' in its care.
