Slieve Gullion area Sinn Féin Councillor Declan Murphy has said that access to O2 mobile phone coverage in Camlough is now in operation.
The local Councillor said he fully expects other networks to be accessible shortly.
Welcoming the development , the Sinn Féin elected representative stated that access to mobile phone coverage was essential for rural communities.
Cllr Murphy said,
“Planning permission for a mobile mast in Camlough was granted some time back and it is now operational.
Access to suitable phone signal is now as essential for rural communities as broadband and other modern services.
Not only is it a key to helping local businesses thrive but it also ensures that the local community can quickly contact emergency services should they be needed.
“Sinn Féin is committed to working for all to deliver better services for our rural communities, to securing a modern, fit for purpose phone network, helping to attract investment into South Armagh to create new jobs and grow the local economy.”
