Jobs losses in separate Larne and Saintfield businesses
Insilco Technologies, which makes cables for telecoms, is to axe 44 jobs at its factory in Larne, County Antrim following a recent slump in business.
East Antrim DUP assembly member Roger Hutchinson has called on Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister, Sir Reg Empey to help to regenerate the area.
Mr Hutchinson said redundancies such as Insilco was one of the latest in a long line of job cuts which would have an overall effect on the local economy.

Meanwhile, the workforce at County Down-based Carpet Yarn Manufacturer, Saintfield Yarns has been informed that the company is to cut between 45 and 50 jobs. (MB)
