Statement by TUV Castlereagh councillor Andrew Girvin:
“News of 390 job losses at Bombardier is a devastating blow for those who have lost their source of income and the families of those concerned.
“Bombardier has been a key part of the economy of the district for generations and the growth of the company’s workforce in recent years has been a welcome bright spot in the prevailing economic gloom. Today’s news is deeply disappointing and my thoughts are with both the workforce and their families”.
