Visteon closure

One of the few factories in West Belfast and one of the area's biggest employers is to close with a loss of around 200 jobs.

Workers at the Visteon plant started a sit-in when management made the announcement this afternoon.

The factory, at Finaghy Road North, was previously owned by Ford and prior to that it was known as Autolite.

Our Business Correspondent, Kevin Magee, who broke the story, reported from the factory gates.
