Sinn Féin has welcomed the plans for the new £20 million Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) Headquarters in Ballykelly.

Sinn Féin Candidate for East Derry in the Westminster Election 2015 Caoimhe Archibald said: "This state-of-the-art building will be an asset to the local area and provide an excellent service to our farming and agricultural community.

"It will also provide much-needed employment in the local area, both in terms of the construction and when the staff of the new headquarters relocate there.

"This development is a fantastic boost to the north west and the Limavady and Ballykelly areas in particular."
