Following complaints regarding Invest NI’s commitment to the Newry area, from Newry and Mourne District Council, the chief executive of the organization has agreed to meet with the council to discuss issues. Invest NI is likely to come to the meeting with figures recently released in the Assembly which show that between 2006 and 2011 it has offered £28.8m promoting 2,668 jobs in the district. Invest NI has also supported 446 local jobs through the Enterprise Development Programme – this compares with an NI total of 8,504 jobs on the EDP scheme.
