Northern Ireland fears over interest rates rise

New figures indicate Northern Ireland's economic recovery continues to lag behind the rest of the UK.

The Northern Ireland economy has been slower to recover, growing by just 1.4% compared to a UK average of 2.5% between 2009 and 2012.

It is feared the recovery could be derailed with an early rise in interest rates to cool a booming economy in London and the south east of England.
