BBC Newsline’s Mark Simpson reports from Holywood, Co. Down on the latest fleg controversy.
Police were called to investigate a complaint about a European flag flying in Rory McIlroy’s home town in County Down during the Ryder Cup.
It was flown at a house in Holywood where a Ryder Cup party was held.
The owner of the house was stunned when two police officers arrived at his door on Sunday morning.
In a post on Facebook, he said that the person who complained thought it was an Arabic flag.
