Councillor Taylor commented:

“I want to offer much praise to the PSNI for their work in discovering a significant terrorist hide in the Forkhill area of South Armagh.

“The discovery of component parts for mortars, including six mortar tubes, in a forested area at Carewamean Road, Forkhill highlights the very significant threat still posed by republican terrorists.
