Newry and Armagh MLA, Mickey Brady has spoken on the recent PSNI operation in Crossmaglen.

Mr.Brady said,

"After hearing that a large PSNI operation took place last night and was continuing this afternoon at a house in Crossmaglen I travelled to the town and met with PSNI inspector David Beck.

Mr. Beck informed me that the operation would be scaled down in order to accommodate the people of the area. He also informed me that there were potential explosives in the house and that bomb disposal teams were dealing with it.

"My concern at this moment in time is for the safety of the people in the area and I told Mr. Beck to prioritise the wellbeing of local people at all times."
