The Ulster Unionist Mayor of Craigavon, Colin McCusker, has condemned as “morons” those responsible for the major disruption to rail services caused by a security alert in the Lurgan area.
Councillor McCusker said;
“When I was first made aware of this security alert at the railway line in Lurgan on Wednesday evening, I had hoped it would have only lasted a few hours.
“As the Mayor of the Borough of Craigavon my initial reaction was one of shame and embarrassment, as once again, the actions of a handful of people who can only be described as ‘morons’ have succeeded in disrupting the lives of ordinary people who just want to get on with their lives.
“This morning I opened a major jobs fair in the Borough where employers were offering over 400 jobs in the area. That is the true side of this area, not the few who have nothing to offer us only hassle and misery.”
