Seán Neeson MLA said: “This is a sad day for Cookstown. Meteor has been a major employer in the town for a long time.
“This closure is yet another sorry reminder of the impact that the global economic downturn and the decrease in construction activity is having on local businesses. I feel for the workers and families who have been affected by this closure and I call upon the relevant Stormont Ministers to put measures in place to assist those losing their jobs to find new employment.”
