NIIRTA Opens Office In Belfast
Alliance MP Naomi Long has marked the official opening of the new East Belfast offices of a local body that represents independent retailers.
Naomi Long MP visited the offices of the Northern Ireland Independent Retail
Trade Association (NIIRTA) in Ballyhackamore, which opened on Friday.
The body represents more than 1,000 independent retailers across Northern Ireland, including wholesalers, suppliers and others, and the office will operate as the organisation's headquarters.
East Belfast MP Mrs Long said the move to her constituency was an important one, given the proliferation of independent retail businesses here.
She said: "East Belfast in general and Ballyhackamore in particular has a growing number of independent retailers, who offer a real choice to local people when it comes to the retail experience. NIIRTA setting up offices here is confirmation that this community is a rapidly developing and vibrant one."
