A&O boss vows to limit job cuts as firm transfers support function to Belfast

@Anonymous at 6:20 and others Only £2.5m? As a free market economist you should stay all in favour. Every penny of that will be recouped promptly in tax, employment (reduced benefits etc) and other investments. Everywhere that A&O looked will have offered them incentives to go there. That's peanuts to keep these jobs in the UK and the move from A&O will attract plenty of other interest too. As the government turn off the tap of public funding to NI they desperately have to attract private employers and this fits the bill rather well, I'd say.
