The Falls and Shankill Roads have been omitted from a new Belfast version of Monopoly unveiled yesterday.

Stormont and the newly restored Belfast City Hall have taken the coveted top spots. They are among 30 landmarks ranging from the Grand Opera House to Windsor Park and Queen’s University included in the new local version which goes on sale this weekend.

Mark Marriott, designer of the Belfast edition, said the firm opted for landmarks that were associated with the whole community.
