Northern Ireland has become the first region in Europe to have 100% access to high speed internet, according to the government.

The announcement was made by Enterprise Minister Angela Smith on a visit to the MJM Group, a specialist joinery company in Rathfriland, County Down.

Almost £10m of European funding has been invested to make broadband universally available in NI.

'This is a significant achievement for Northern Ireland,' she said.
