New research on the migration of thousands of members of the Protestant, Unionist and Loyalist community from the West Bank from the early 1970s is to be launched in Derry.

The ‘Exodus Conference’ will take place on Tuesday (10am-1.45pm) in the Guildhall.

"Join us for the release of the findings of our Exodus research. With over 90 interviews, and a number of focus groups, this represents the most comprehensive and honest piece of research ever conducted on the topic.

"The conference will reflect on the findings through panel discussions, audience engagement and through visual and drama performances,” the organisers stated.
