The portrait marking the religious and political career of Northern Ireland’s former First Minister, Dr Ian Paisley, is set to be used by the Bannside Library for future exhibitions and various events.

The Ulster University art student presented the painting as members of the Young Democrats visited the Lord Bannside Library to view Lord Bannside’s extensive book collection.
