BBC Northern Ireland journalists take to picket lines as council votes counted

BBC Northern Ireland journalists are on the picket lines as votes are counted across the region following the local government elections. Includes interview with Seamus Dooley, NUJ assistant general secretary. The 24-hour strike saw several flagship programmes including BBC Radio Ulster’s Good Morning Ulster and The Nolan Show go off air as more than 200 journalists took part in the walkout. There were also no local news bulletins on Radio Ulster until 9am on Friday, which was read by Adam Smyth, director of BBC Northern Ireland. Television and online services have been similarly impacted.
