A tender report will now be submitted to the committee to sign off.

Sinn Féin councillor Brenda Chivers welcomed the announcement.

She said: "My party colleagues and I consistently met with and lobbied for the Community Association from day one and will continue to do so until the facilities they deserve are secured.

"Sinn Féin will continue to work hard and push for investment in rural communities such as Magilligan."
