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:
MLAs clash with officials over Bill to make school uniforms more affordable
Further bluetongue testing after 44 more suspected cases found
Police appeal for information over report of gunshots fired in Omagh
Palestine flag flies on Belfast City Hall
