Jobs for Peace
Government policy in Northern Ireland has been to achieve peace and prosperity. The prosperity was to have come largely from industrial development.
One of the most important developments was the setting up of the Strathearn Audio Company. It was started in 1974 in a Catholic area of West Belfast. By now it should have been employing 1,200 people. Instead it has provided work for only 148. Those jobs have cost £63,000 each, and today Strathearn Audio is threatened with closure. In The Money Programme James Bellini reports from Belfast and examines what happened to the Strathearn plant.
