Campaigners pushing for new rail lines from Derry have met with the Republic's Minister for Transport to discuss their proposals.

Members of the Into The West group met with Eamon Ryan, who is also the leader of the Green Party in the Republic, on Friday.

Among the topics discussed were a proposed new rail service from Derry to Letterkenny and a new direct rail line from Derry to Dublin.

Into The West was founded in 2001 to campaign against a Stormont decision to close the Derry-Belfast railway line west of Coleraine.
