Last night’s Kingfishr concert in Ebrington Square goes to show what brilliant events Derry can host in big concerts when the opportunity is there.

We need more venues for the big stuff, more investment for the growing number of artists, singers, musicians and performers that want to stay in Derry and more support for people who keep culture alive in our city.

🇮🇪 President Higgins has served Ireland well. His example, one of compassion, of grace, and of moral courage will be remembered and reenacted for many years to come.

🏡 Meenan Square Transformation 🙌🏻

Pretty incredible to see the £11M Meenan Square regeneration taking shape in the Bogside, with planning approval granted by council. 🔨

An area that is so frequently overlooked by the powers that be in Stormont, finally getting the attention it deserves. The rest of the Bogside / Brandywell area should be the same!

Hopefully the housing that is crucial to the development will be approved next, and we can look forward to a bright new future for the community and for the whole of the Bogside. 🙏🏻
