Niente esercito in South Armagh

‘No re-introduction’ of Army in south Armagh

A senior policeman in south Armagh has rejected claims the Army will be redeployed in the area.

British armyChief Inspector Sam Cordner’s comments came during a district policing board meeting in Crossmaglen on Tuesday night.

Around 200 people turned out for the meeting and spent more than two hours discussing a range of issues.

Chief Inspector Sam Cordner insisted he is confident that the resources are available to deal with the dissident threat, following a show of strength by the Real IRA in the border town of Meigh last month.

He said: “There is no sense or suggestion that there will be any re-introduction of military, that’s just not on the agenda. Newry and Mourne and South Armagh will be policed by the PSNI, end of story.”

“The level of resourcing we have available in the district is fit for purpose for what we are trying to achieve.”
