Discussions have taken place to develop a new cruise ship terminal on the Greencastle side of Foyle Port in co L'Derry.

Sinn Fein MP Elisha McCallion met with representatives to discuss the plans.

She said the expansion would transform the tourism industry in the north west.

"Such a move would help attract more cruise ships, and consequently, more visitors to the north west," she said.

"This proposal has the potential to significantly improve the tourism economy in the north west and make us a key destination on any cruise itinerary.

"I will continue to engage with Foyle Port in the time ahead as they progress this proposal."
