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:
Mourners at Amy Doherty’s funeral hear of her ‘magnetic personality’
Man arrested over Amy Doherty murder ‘unfit for police interview’
Violence against women a particularly difficult issue in NI – Naomi Long
Natalie McNally’s partner found guilty of her murder
