Sinn Féin MLA for Newry/Armagh, Cathal Boylan has called for spokespersons from dissident organisations, to come forward and explain the rationale for planting a bomb on the pavement in Armagh City.

Mr. Boylan said;

"News that the device found in Windmill Hill was viable is extremely worrying.

"I am calling on the spokespeople from the various 'dissident' organisations to explain the rationale for leaving a viable device in Armagh.


"These micro groups must explain to the community, without any further delay, why they have endangered the lives of the people in this city.

"A peaceful and democratic path has been opened in order to bring about our republican objectives. The community does not want to see this type of activity."
