    Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann gave modest boost to Belfast hotels (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The All Ireland Fleadh gave the Belfast hotel market a modest boost during August, initial survey data suggests. Official figures suggest that an estimated 189,000 hotel beds were sold in the city, up almost 4% compared with 182,000 bed sales in August 2025. Room occupancy rates in the city were up by two percentage points year-on-year, from 83% to 85%. The Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann ran from 2 to 9 August - it was the first time the event had been held in Belfast. In Northern Ireland as a whole,

    Mid Ulster District Council: Council blocked from relaxing rural housing rules (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Stormont officials have ordered Mid Ulster District Council to scrap proposed planning policies which would have made it easier to build houses in the countryside. The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said the policies would undermine regional planning rules and could lead to "excessive development". It said one of the proposals risked creating a "very wide interpretation of what constitutes a farm" for planning purposes. Every council in Northern Ireland is responsible for drawing up its own

    International migration to NI at lowest level in a decade (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    International migration to Northern Ireland declined sharply in 2025, new official figures suggest. There were an estimated 12,100 international arrivals while 10,200 people left giving a net gain of 1,900 people. Excluding the pandemic year of 2020, it was the lowest level of international immigration in more than a decade. It compares to a recent peak of net international immigration of almost 9,000 people in 2023. Those figures are in line with a general UK trend which showed a surge in immig

    Stormont pay parity policy undermining public services, research suggests (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The quality of Northern Ireland's public services is being undermined by a policy of matching public sector pay awards in England, research suggests. The Stormont Executive has a policy of "pay parity" which means it aims to match annual percentage pay increases agreed in England. That has placed pressure on the Stormont budget because the unique structure and size of Northern Ireland's public sector workforce means those pay increases are not fully covered by UK government funding. The NI Fisca

    Data centre demand drives NI manufacturing, figures show (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Demand for data centre equipment appears to be driving a boom in Northern Ireland manufacturing, new official figures suggest. NI manufacturing grew at an annual rate of 9% in the second quarter of this year, compared to a UK average of just 1.2%. NI has been outperforming the UK average since the start of last year. The growth in NI has been concentrated in "computer, electronic, electrical, and optical products" which grew at an annual rate of almost 28% in the most recent quarter. That subsec
