Hi everyone,

We always seem to say it's been another busy week - and indeed no lie. Armagh I HQ has been a real hub of activity this week with courts cases, government strikes and event the odd 100 birthday celebrations - a big happy birthday to May!

One of the big stories everyone's talking about this week was the election (you may have noticed that's happening). By now, the voting will all be complete and it is as they say in the hands of the Gods - but if you haven't had enough here's nine key questions answered by Newry and Armagh candidates ahead of polling day

Yesterday there was much-a-do around CIDO Business Park in Lurgan when emergency crews were tasked to the scene of a reported gas leak at CIDO Business Complex in Charles Street at around 4pm this afternoon. We went to the scene to speak to some of the business owners whilst also speaking with the emergency services involved.
