BBC Documentaries - 2012x207 - The Belfast Mayor - A Year in Chains- Followmy.tv

In 2011 Belfast City Council elected its youngest ever Lord Mayor, Sinn Fein's Niall O Donnghaile. At just twenty-five and with little political experience, he was thrust into the limelight for one of the biggest years in Belfast's history. In The Belfast Mayor - A Year in Chains, cameras follow the ups and downs of Niall's tenure, from the highs of hosting the MTV European Music Awards and opening Titanic Belfast, to the low point when his refusal to present an army cadet with a Duke of Edinburgh Award resulted in widespread vilification. We reveal the man behind the headlines.
