[4] On 30 November 2009, the location of the Belfast Wheel again caused a row, resulting in the Lord Mayor of Belfast Naomi Long discussing the potential move of the Titanic Memorial before the 2012 anniversary.
[5] The Belfast Wheel closed for business on Sunday 11 April 2010.
The operator, Great City Attractions, had announced a few weeks previously that it would be removed.
