A stained glass window of the Titanic, one of many at Belfast City Hall
Celtic myths and legends may not be the first thing that comes to mind if you were asked to think of a defining feature in the city hall in Belfast but a new stained glass window could change that.
Councillors have proposed putting a new one in, on that very theme.
Sinn Fein councillor, Tom Hartley is in favour of adding to the many stained glass windows that already adorn the building.
"We really need to be precious about this form of art work and how it enhances the life of this city and how it gives us value to our lives," he said.
A centenary window celebrates some of the key events, people and places of Belfast and Northern Ireland.
As well as featuring the Titanic, which was built in Belfast, there is a picture of a tractor, made famous by Harry Ferguson and a number of books, representing artistic and creative voices, such as Seamus Heaney.
Tom Hartley said that the window is saying to the outsider that "Belfast is a very dynamic and creative city".
Ulster Unionist councillor, Bob Stoker is also in favour of the plan, describing it as "brilliant idea".
"Celtic myths and legends, we're going back in history, certainly but it's part of our history, it's part of what actually made us here," he said.
"If we're looking to show Belfast to the tourists coming in here, they know about the Troubles associated with Belfast.
"They know some of the history and I'm sure they know of the myths of the Giant's Causeway.
"I think its important that we actually produce something visible that people can actually see and feel and touch rather than just the potential for a virtual tourist," he added.
But in these austere times and with everyone, councils included, facing cutbacks, can the £25,000 cost of a new stained glass window be justified?
Bob Stoker thinks so: "It may seem like an awful lot of money for one stained glass window but whenever you consider the amount of tourists that you actually attract to the city by providing examples of your history like that, I think its immeasurable," he said.
Councillor Tom Hartley said the move would also support local artists.
"We're enhancing the sense of who we are, we're bringing tourists into the city hall.
"We're sending out a message about Belfast and the type of people and the type of society it is."
A spokesperson for Belfast City Council said the project was dependant on the council securing Peace 3 funding.
"The council's Memorabilia Working Group has agreed to commission a stained glass window on the theme of 'Celtic Myths And Legends'.
"This decision remains to be ratified by the full council at its next meeting on 4 October."
