Like others, I support and welcome the announcement of these jobs today. It is another good news story, which we need. However, in the same vein as my fellow MLAs from Fermanagh and South Tyrone, I ask the Minister about the recent loss of 300 skilled advisory jobs at BT in Enniskillen. That workforce had been recognised within BT as belonging to the best-performing region in the United Kingdom. Was there crossover engagement with Invest NI in identifying the location of those jobs, given that Invest NI assured my former colleagues on Fermanagh and Omagh District Council that it was working hard to find jobs for those who had been affected by the job losses at BT?
