She said: “It seemed highly appropriate in 2013 to showcase this city as a perfect place for Good Relations trips.”

She made the comments as the local authority launched ‘Essentials For Residentials,’ an initiative to highlight the opportunities for bringing groups to Londonderry to engage in good relations/history and culture based residential’s and day trips.
