A fortnight ago the Sentinel reported how Social Development minister Nelson McCausland acknowledged work would begin this spring.

The Minister said he was working closely with the NWRSP to deliver a 50,000-square-foot complex commercial and research centre in Londonderry as a satellite of the internationally acclaimed Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP).
