Newton Calls For Meeting With Bombardier

East Belfast DUP MLA Robin Newton has sought a meeting with Bombardier senior management.

Mr Newton is seeking reassurance that no jobs in Northern Ireland will be affected by the latest restructuring announcement.

Mr Newton said: "I understand the concerns of the workforce. I will be seeking meeting with the management of Bombardier to identify what impact, if any, this announcement will have on Northern Ireland.

"Bombardier plants in Northern Ireland are a very successful and productive part of the global Bombardier organisation. I hope the loss of jobs do not affect the workers here."
