Natwest should take action to save Belfast jobs – Archibald

Sinn Féin Economy spokesperson Caoimhe Archibald has backed calls from the Financial Services Union for NatWest to save the 600 Belfast jobs at risk due to its closures of Ulster Bank branches.

The East Derry MLA said:

“I fully support the calls made by the Financial Services Union at the Economy Committee that Ulster Bank jobs in Belfast can be and should be saved by NatWest. 

“The closure of Ulster Bank branches in the 26 counties has been a hammer blow for workers and their families. The loss of 600 jobs in Ulster Bank Belfast is a direct result of these closures.

“These jobs can be protected if NatWest makes the commercial decision to transfer new roles to Belfast and that is what they should do. 

“I have been in contact with NatWest on this issue and I have sought a meeting with them to look for a way forward on this.”

I welcome tonight’s statement from the Ceann Comhairle and her acceptance of the position set out by Sinn Féin and the combined Opposition - you cannot be in government and opposition at the same time.

This was a stroke too far on the back of a grubby deal and everyone knows…

One year ago today, history was made as I took up the position of First Minister.

Every day since, I’ve worked to ensure all our people are fairly represented and to meet the needs and aspirations of workers, families and communities.

I remain determined to do everything I can…
