First Look: The Metro Bar Returns to Derry’s Nightlife

The wait is over - The Metro Bar has reopened its doors in Derry, four months after it closed in May, and the transformation is amazing.

The oval bar that once dominated the downstairs is gone. Now the space feels wide open, with a much bigger dance floor taking centre stage and a sleek new bar set against the wall.

Upstairs follows the same refreshed feel, now fitted with more tables that give groups a spot to relax and enjoy the night.

The final touch - a cutting-edge sound and lighting system designed to push the atmosphere higher and the night further.

Irish Navy Vessel LÉ Samuel Beckett Docks in Derry

At 90 metres in length and built to the highest international standards, the Samuel Beckett is the first of Ireland’s updated Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs), representing a lengthened and modernised version of the earlier Róisín-class ships.

Designed and constructed by Babcock Marine in Appledore, the vessel is equipped to withstand the demanding conditions of the North East Atlantic while ensuring enhanced safety, advanced technology, and improved crew comfort.

The ship carries a crew of 44, including six officers, and is powered by twin Wärtsilä diesel engines capable of reaching speeds of 23 knots. With a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 15 knots, it can sustain extended missions at sea.

Its armaments include a 76mm OTO Melara gun, two 20mm Rheinmetall cannons, heavy machine guns, and general-purpose machine guns, making it a versatile asset for maritime defence and patrol duties.

Posters highlighting genocide in Palestine emerge across Derry

A series of posters has appeared across Derry, created by local artist Ciarán Dunlevy in partnership with Rise for Palestine.

The works, which Dunlevy produced in his spare time, have been displayed in locations including Free Derry Corner, Strand Road, Foyle Road, Orchard Street, Great James Street and William Street car park.

Writing online, Dunlevy described himself as a pacifist artist and said he wanted to show how certain people are “directly or indirectly involved in a genocide and controlled starvation,” adding: “I cannot continue to live in silence.”

He said the images were shaped by scenes of politicians “sitting enjoying themselves and shaking hands in their new paradise they are creating” while suffering unfolded in the background, as well as depictions of starving Palestinians in places such as America, England and Ireland.

“I don’t think staying silent anymore is an option,” he added. “I think staying silent lets the abuse continue.”

Members of the Derry & Northwest branch of the National Union of Journalists, along with others, gathered at Guildhall Square today in solidarity with journalists and civilians killed in Gaza.

The gathering honoured five Palestinian journalists killed on Monday in an Israeli double-tap strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, where civilians were also among the dead.

The strike on Nasser Hospital was broadcast live, showing unarmed medics and journalists raising their hands to shield themselves just before they were killed.

The UN says more than 247 journalists have been killed in Gaza in the past 22 months.
