Winning Entry

A Dublin architecture partnership has won a prestigious competition to design a visitors' centre at the Giant's Causeway in Co Antrim. Róisín Heneghan of Heneghan Peng Architects was congratulated yesterday at Stormont by Northern Secretary Peter Hain, and awarded a £10,000 (€14,500) prize. He said the "stunning" design would enhance the experience by Irish and international visitors to Northern Ireland's only World Heritage Site and would help realise the area's full tourism potential. The 60 million-year-old Giant's Causeway already attracts some 400,000 visitors a year. They used to be facilitated at a visitors' centre until it was destroyed by fire in 2000.
