EE / BT job losses huge blow to Enniskillen – Murphy

Sinn Féin MLA Áine Murphy has said the closure of the EE / BT site in Enniskillen is a huge blow to local workers and families. 

The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA said:

“My immediate thoughts are with the workers who have lost their jobs at this site.

“This will be a huge blow to workers and families right across the county, and also the local economy.

“I want to highlight the blatant unwillingness by EE / BT to work with the Department for Economy and Invest NI to identify an alternative option to closure.

“Invest NI has previously offered to support EE / BT in order to retain jobs at the site which unfortunately was rejected.

“I welcome the announcement from the economy minister that Invest NI will maintain contact with the company to ensure every step is taken to support staff in the time ahead.”
