Molloy welcomes support for manufacturing industry

Sinn Féin MP Francie Molloy has welcomed the announcement of a £20 million funding package for rates relief for the manufacturing sector.

“The manufacturing sector supports many jobs in the north and many involved in manufacturing, particularly those in smaller businesses are experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the ongoing public health emergency. 

“This funding will be particularly welcomed by those businesses. 

“This will allow businesses in the manufacturing sector to avail of the same year-long rates relief scheme available to other businesses. 

“This funding boost from Finance Minister Conor Murphy will help ease the pressure on these businesses and help protect jobs and workers.”
