There will be no change to the flag representing Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games, officials in charge of the team have said.
On Monday, the head of Commonwealth Games NI (CGNI) said it would use a corporate logo instead of the Ulster Banner unless the Stormont Executive gave guidance.
Communities Minister Gordon Lyons, who is in charge of sport, then wrote a two-page letter to CGNI criticising plans to replace the flag at this summer’s games in Glasgow.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the CGNI Board said Lyons’ letter offered “clear and unequivocal guidance” and that it will continue to use the Ulster Banner.
