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:
Man’s body found in Cookstown in search for missing 21-year-old
Two taken to hospital following suspected gas explosion in east Belfast
Man critically ill in hospital following road crash in Co Tyrone n
Man dead following assault in Donegal
