Not all tip-offs make the news...
But thank you for being our extra eyes!
Good morning, Micheal with you here. We’ve had plenty going on over the last few days. Last month was a record month for us in terms of visitors to the website - today will see us surpass that for January, so thank you to all our readers.
There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t quite make it as far as the website. A lot of tips that lead to nothing but don’t let that deter you from getting in touch. Thanks to all the people who mentioned the police incident in a location in Armagh city – you know who you are. While it appeared to be something dramatic, police assured us it was just a “concern for safety”. An ambulance spokesperson told us they would not be commenting due to it being an incident inside a residential property. We even went to check it out ourselves before we were given the updates by the emergency services. As a result of our own curiosity, we nearly lost poor Rikki to an irate resident…who wasn’t overly happy we were there. Poor lad’s hamstrings may take a few days to recover.
Alas, it may not have lead to much, barring a near death experience but thanks for being our eyes. It was suggested that our readers could be labelled – Armagh Eyes…akin to Justin Bieber’s Beliebers…I assure you, I did not suggest that!
Moving swiftly on…
