Road and sewerage works in Armagh are to be complete by early June, the Transport Minister has confirmed.

The works, at the Friary Road/Newry Road junction and sewerage works at The Mall, are almost two months past their completion date.

Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan said: "I asked the Roads Minister for an update when these works will be finished given the challenges they pose to the local business community and road users alike.

"While I understand and welcome the improvements these works will undeniably bring, it is worrying that people in Armagh are suffering in the meantime.

"The inconvenience, disruptions and traffic congestion has been a bone of contention with both road users and business alike."
