It’s a sad day for Belfast as Harland and Wolff enters administration.
The business will cease trading this evening (Monday) and will file for insolvency on Tuesday at the High Court.
Over 100 jobs are at risk without a buyer.
Following the appointment of administrators, workers have vowed to continue their protest to save the shipyard.
A petition is available online to sign:
