Lord Kilclooney makes a bid to save textile jobs
Lord Kilclooney, UUP assembly member for Strangford, is to meet with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Sir Reg Empey on January 4 about the future of Saintfield Yarns textiles plant which recently announced 45 redundancies just days before Christmas.
Lord Kilclooney toured the plant last year and had in depth talks with the management about the future of the company, and he feels that it is important that every effort is made by the Stormont Executive to support Saintfield Yarns.
Recently, Strangford MP Iris Robinson appealed to the IDB to support the company through a cash crisis, after it emerged that the agency had refused a £200,000 funding application from management.
The IDB offered half the amount to the company which is cutting its staff from 195 to 150. (CD)
