The Londonderry Guildhall and Aras Colmcille will also be floodlit as part of the scheme.

Derry City Council believes that: “as well as highlighting the unique aspects and architecture of the historic Walled City area, the lighting scheme will also assist the evening economy through making the city safer and more vibrant at night.

“Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) has awarded £1.4 million to Derry City Council to implement the Lighting Strategy which is currently at design stage with work due to start on installation in early 2012.”
