Harris ‘looking forward’ to first official visit to Derry

Simon Harris will meet political, civic society and community leaders in his first visit to Londonderry as Taoiseach on Monday.

He will also deliver the John Hume and Thomas P O’Neill Chair in Peace lecture at Ulster University before visiting the site of the new teaching and student services building at the campus.

“My visit includes a meeting with Mayor Seenoi Barr in the Guildhall, and will also provide an opportunity to celebrate ongoing projects benefiting from Government of Ireland support, including the Wild Atlantic Way/Causeway Coastal Route branding collaboration.

“I am honoured to be delivering the 2024 John Hume and Thomas P O’Neill Chair lecture in Ulster University’s Derry campus and keen to visit the site there for the new teaching and student service centre being supported by an allocation from the Shared Island Fund.”
