An ambitious project which aims to transform a bombed-out Ballymena pub into a thriving business and community hub launches later.
The 'Raglan Project' plans to re-develop the derelict Raglan Bar, destroyed by the IRA in the 1970's.
Part of the site is already occupied by a credit union.

The £1 million project will include a £120 000 community share offer.
Billy Millar chairs the 'Raglan Steering Group':
Billy says the project has two phases:
Local community ‘in shock’ after ‘very serious car crash’ in north Belfast
Tensions high in Dungannon over East Timor ‘gang fears’, court hears
Graffiti in Belfast probed as ‘racially motivated hate crime’
Man appears in court charged with manslaughter of Carl Holland in Belfast
DUP reveals details of review into what was known about Donaldson’s conduct
