Tomorrow's Inside Politics features the DUP MP Gregory Campbell and Sinn Fein's Daithi McKay debating the merits of public or private sector development of the Giants' Causeway. There's no meeting of minds on the visitor centre although both politicians agree that there should be more transparency surrounding donations to the local parties.

The Causeway will remain the centre of attention at Stormont next week - Daithi McKay is due to question Nigel Dodds on the matter on Monday, whilst the Tourism Minister and a host of interested parties face the Enterprise Committee on Tuesday. The Environment Minister Arlene Foster is due to face questions from her committee on Thursday.

Apart from discussing the visitor centre, I also get a question in about the emergence of a new unionist party. The gossip is that this will finally be unveiled next week, although Gregory Campbell tells me he's not worried about the prospect.

Inside Politics is broadcast at 12.45 on BBC Radio Ulster on Saturday.
