Mayor welcomes The Honourable The Irish Society

Members of grant-giving charity The Honourable Irish Society have met with Council officials to hear about the progress of the City Deal.

The Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Alderman Graham Warke, and Council representatives met the delegation in the Guildhall and also discussed the region’s growing Fintech cluster, and plans for Ebrington and Fort George. 

During the visit, hosted by the Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, the group also visited C-TRIC (the Clinical Translational Research and Innovation Centre), the new Visit Derry Visitor Information Centre, and North West Regional College’s Springtown Campus.

Mayor Warke said: “It’s vitally important that we continue to strengthen the unique relationship that our city and district has with The Irish Society and the City of London, and I was delighted to discuss many of the exciting projects and opportunities that are developing within this region.”
