Among the buildings they viewed were Buildings 10,10a, 11 and 17 in respect of which the Council recently provided planning approval for a new craft distillery and Visitor Centre at Ebrington Square.

The Planning Committee approved planning permission and listed buildings consent for the change of use and extension of these former Barracks buildings.

Mr Boyle said: "This is just one of a number of hugely important developments at Ebrington that is enhancing and regenerating listed buildings that form part of a key cluster of landmark buildings and spaces that are significant to our built heritage. Ebrington as a former military barracks that dates back to the 1840s and covers a space of 26 acres/10.5 hectares, is of significant historic importance to this city. It contains a number of listed buildings and is a key site for the economic development and regeneration of Derry and the wider City North West region."
