A newly-built Fermanagh workspace development in Clabby, can help to stimulate economic growth in the local area, the Enterprise Minister has said.

Arlene Foster officially opened the 10,109 square foot workspace at Clabby Enterprise Park last week.

Around 36 new jobs will be created through the opening of six new workspace units at the business park.

"This development will provide much needed regeneration within the local community, helping to address the social and economic disadvantages experienced in Fermanagh and South Tyrone in recent years," said Ms Foster.

The workspace development at Clabby is one of over 40 projects across Northern Ireland, set up to create new jobs in deprived areas, by providing flexible workspace units for new and expanding businesses.

The scheme was developed by Fivemiletown Community Development Association at a total cost of £822,057.

Anne Henderson, Board Member of the International Fund for Ireland, said: "I would like to praise Fivemiletown Community Development Association Ltd for their dedication in bringing this project to fruition, despite the many challenges which they faced."
