Housing plans: Residents fume over 'complete invasion of our privacy'
Good morning, it's Micheal here with you on this not so bright Tuesday morning. The clocks have gone forward and we're well and truly into spring! The downside: wake up calls are now 4.30am....yessss!!!!! And then there's the "why are we going to bed when the sun hasn't gone to sleep yet!". The minds of three-year-olds...not to mention the nine-year-old who thinks she's ready to start helping Armagh I with their video coverage...(don't go saying "I thought it was already being done by 9-year-olds!)
Anyway, here's what we've been covering over the last few days. Residents aren't too happy about this development in Killylea (see below). We also had the truly, truly heartbreaking funeral coverage of little four-year-old Gabrielle.
That's below along with a number of other picks from the last few days.
