A US-owned technology company is to provide 400 jobs in Northern Ireland as part of a €34 million expansion.

Northbrook Technology already employs 1,400 people across three locations in Northern Ireland - Belfast, Derry and Strabane in Co Tyrone.

The company came to Northern Ireland in 1998 in the first wave of post-ceasefire business investments.

The new jobs, which are in computer software development, will be divided between the Belfast and Derry sites.

Invest Northern Ireland put up almost €9m of the €34m budget.

Its Chairman, Stephen Kingon, said the project sent a clear message that Northern Ireland can be a serious contender in the global software market.
