Newry Chamber issued a statement regarding Mondays Bomb: ‘Newry Chamber of Commerce and Trade totally condemns those responsible for the car bomb outside the Newry Courthouse.

They have no strategy to contribute to the wellbeing of this area. They have no support. Newry will not allow them to prevail. The people of Newry have worked tirelessly over the decades to regenerate the City and bring investment into the region.

Newry is now an economic driver of all-island significance. The actions of a very small minority will not put all of this good work in jeopardy. Newry is a formidable, united community’.
