Investment worth £11 million sterling will mean 550 new software development jobs for Northern Ireland, it was announced today.

Deputy first minister at the Stormont Assembly Mr Mark Durkan said the decision by Northbrook Technology would send out a clear signal that Northern Ireland was a key player in the technology sector.

Belfast is to get 300 of the jobs and another 250 will be going to Derry.

The company, which was set up three years ago, employs 250 people in Belfast.
