The announcement was welcomed today by Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry as recruitment opened for the new store. The Minister described the jobs boost as good news for jobseekers in the Newry area.

The Minister said: "I welcome Tesco's commitment to recruit over 200 new employees in Newry and to work with my Department's Employment Service to assist with the filling of these vacancies through the JobCentre network. This is a substantial number of jobs being created by an international company and is excellent news for the local economy.
