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:
Mike Nesbitt to step down as UUP leader
Whole island of Ireland under weather warning as wintry conditions sweep
Bid to bring historical treasures from birth of US to Belfast for exhibition
Police investigating Arson Attack in North Belfast
McIlroy honours omission came despite Stormont nomination
