Suffolk's police and crime commissioner has denied having a "bust-up" with the force's chief constable, who has been off sick since December.

Tim Passmore said claims Douglas Paxton's continued absence was linked to poor relations between the pair were "a load of old tosh".
He said: "There has definitely not been a bust-up. [I] 120% deny that."
He would not elaborate on Mr Paxton's illness. The BBC understands his condition is not life-threatening.
Mr Paxton, 49, started the Â£133,845-a-year-job in March 2013, having been the only person to apply for the role.
Last month, Conservative PCC Mr Passmore said Mr Paxton would be off "for the foreseeable future" and that Deputy Chief Constable Gareth Wilson would be standing in.
Speaking to BBC Look East, Mr Passmore said he was "really surprised" when he heard Mr Paxton was off work.
"We were at the Christmas lunch in the canteen and he said a few words, we had a chat, I said a few words and the next thing I knew he was off," he said.
In a separate interview with BBC Radio Suffolk's Mark Murphy, Mr Passmore said he was aware of the extent of Mr Paxton's illness, but said he had been "asked not to divulge people's personal medical details".
Mr Passmore said he had disagreed with Mr Paxton about certain issues, including the ultimately doomed proposed merger of Suffolk and Norfolk's control rooms.
"My role as PCC is to hold the constabulary to account via the chief constable and when we have robust conversations, which we do, it's very, very important we explore all the issues in great detail," he said.
"It's not some sort of lovey-dovey relationship."
Suffolk Police declined to comment.


Former Swansea City boss Garry Monk has been appointed as Leeds United's new head coach.

The 37-year-old has signed a one-year rolling contract with the Championship club to replace Steve Evans, who left his position on Tuesday.
Monk was sacked by the Swans in December 2015 after 18 months in charge of the Premier League side.
He was a fighter as a player and now he's the same as a manager - as we saw when he did very well at Swansea City
"I want to be challenged and really get my teeth into a big project," he told the club website.
"That was the underlying factor throughout the whole process and that's the reason why I'm here today."
Monk, who spent 10 years at Swansea as a player, becomes the sixth full-time head coach appointed by Leeds owner Massimo Cellino since June 2014.
Evans guided the club to 13th in the Championship but did not have his contract renewed by the Italian.
MK Dons boss Karl Robinson and Bristol Rovers manager Darrell Clarke have both previously turned down the role.
Monk will be tasked with attempting to lead the club back to the top flight of English football for the first time since they were relegated 2004.
Leeds have already promised to give fans who buy a season ticket for 2016-17 a refund of up to 50% if they fail to reach the Championship play-offs.
Cellino said: "Garry is part of a new generation of coaches in England and has a lot of potential to develop, which is something we were targeting for the new season.
"I believe he's very suited to continuing the growth of our young and improving team. He will bring new strengths and a lot of energy to the squad.
"He was a fighter as a player and now he's the same as a manager - as we saw when he did very well at Swansea City. I feel he can really bring the best out of the team."


In the middle of a narrow alley in Cairo's Ain Shams district, one shop stands out from the rest.

While it could be missed from the outside, step inside and you enter a world of neon graffiti, pulsating beats and urban youth.
Here the Samaka band is busy making Egypt's latest genre of music, mahragan.
Arabic for "festival", mahragan can best be described as loud, crazy, digital tunes, with repetitive beats and lyrics.
It came from the slums of Egypt's big cities and has rapidly spread across the Arab world.
Samaka's "studio" consists of one laptop, a small table and a stand microphone - with no musical instruments in sight.
Kamal Agwa, one of the band's singers, stands behind a "pop" shield, getting ready to record a new song.
"When a customer comes asking for a unique song, we tailor the lyrics for him so that it includes his name," he says. "We charge little, and sometimes we do it for free."
Mahragan songs are increasingly heard at wedding and birthday parties, and were even used by some candidates in recent parliamentary election campaigns.
"There is such a big demand for our music," lyricist Rami Ramadan says.
"I'm writing so many lyrics that I lose their track. It's quite a surprise for me to hear a track playing somewhere and realise it's actually my own song!"
You can hear mahragans in almost every neighbourhood in Egypt.
Relaxing at a street cafe is now commonly interrupted by the music belting out of taxis and tuk-tuks. Like it or lump it, there no way of avoiding it.
Critics believe that this genre of music has little room for creativity and sounds all the same.
"Sometimes people are just eager to listen to any type of music," says musician Hani Muhanna, who has been producing some of Egypt's best-loved songs since the 1970s.
"This type of music won't leave any significant mark on the music industry and will disappear over time. Just because a song has gone viral doesn't mean it's brilliant. We see strange and offensive videos go viral all the time."
Nasser Gandhi is a singer with the mahragan Shubaik Lobaik band, which produced hit song There Ain't No Such Thing as a Real Friend. The track has been viewed more than 30m times on YouTube.
Aged just 17, Gandhi has a huge fan-base among lower- to middle-class young men and women.
He says mahragans express the struggles some people face daily. However, despite its success, the hit-song's lyrics have been criticised for allegedly inciting violence.
"Show me whatever weapons you have. When you strike me, I will strike you back. I will smash you in the face so that it doesn't look the same. If you retreat, then you are a woman and not a real man," Gandhi sings on the record.
"I never imagined that our song would go viral this way," he says.
"Our lyrics are the words we hear on the street. When someone attacks you, you can't be patient and call the police. You must defend yourself to survive. That's the reality that we're facing now and we have to deal with it."
Prominent Egyptian blogger Wael Abbas opposes any kind of censorship of music but believes that this type of song promotes macho culture and glorifies gang violence.
"The lack of law and order in the slums following the revolution has meant that people began arming themselves in order to protect their areas," he explains.
"These young people were and still are, heavily influenced by gangster rap music from the United States, so much that one of them has even called himself Alaa 50 Cent - after American rapper 50 Cent," Mr Abbas says.
A few weeks ago, a large, young, male-only crowd descended on Bulaq Dakror neighbourhood in Cairo, for the wedding party of mahragan singer Basala. They danced wildly, some without their shirts.
Huge speakers outside the bride's house thumped out the mahragan sound, the surrounding narrow alleyways jammed with party-goers.
Exuberant young men climbed drain pipes to get a better view as fireworks lit the sky and a flaming trail of kerosene on the ground added to the trance-inducing atmosphere.
While Wael Abbas does not believe the lyrics incite violence, he thinks they are still honouring thugs.
However Nasser Kamel, who made the music video for Nasser Ghandi's controversial song, disagrees: "We are not inciting violence, we are not thugs, I am a good man. We are just making songs. The mention of weapons in the song could actually be a reference to paper and pens."


A light aircraft pilot has suffered minor injuries during a crash-landing in a field behind a private school.

The small-propeller plane came down in trees close to Cobham Hall, in Cobham, near Gravesend in Kent.
The pilot, who is in his 70s, suffered injuries to his hand, and received initial treatment at the scene from firefighters.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service said crews isolated the power of the plane and checked for any fuel leaks.


A couple has been convicted of carrying out a decade of sex and drug abuse against children, including rape.

Nicholas Taylor, 47, and Joan Taylor, 43, targeted children as young as 11 and supplied them with crack cocaine.
The 84 offences by the "master manipulators" occurred between 1996 and 2006, Leicester Crown Court was told.
Taylor, who had previous convictions for indecency, and his wife, a former prostitute, pleaded guilty to 10 charges.
They will be sentenced at a later date.
Det Insp Adam Pendlebury, from Northamptonshire Police, praised the "extraordinary courage" of the Taylors' 11 victims.
He said: "The Taylors were master manipulators who used crack cocaine to force their victims to engage in sexual activity against their will and their actions have had a devastating impact on their victims' lives."
He described Nicholas Taylor as a "very dangerous, depraved individual" and his co-accused as "a more than willing accomplice".
The investigation into the couple began in 2014 and was the largest of its type in the force's history.
Nicholas Taylor was found guilty of:

Wales bade farewell to 100-cap Martyn Williams by killing off Shane Williams' hopes of a winning send-off for the Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium.

Wales went into a 13-0 lead through Harry Robinson's try and James Hook's kicks, but the visitors led 14-13 at the break after tries by Stephen Donald and Richie Rees.
The Baa-Baas went further ahead when Donald went over for his second.
But Hook and Aled Brew tries sealed Wales' victory.
Shane Williams led out the Barbarians for his final Millennium Stadium appearance hoping for the chance to produce some of the magic with which he has graced the game.

There was also the significant matter of a 100th cap for another Welsh Williams - flanker Martyn - who avoided what he described as the "pain" of being left stranded on 99 caps.
Martyn Williams came on as a 46th-minute replacement and one of his first acts was to pull down wing Shane as the Baa-Baas wing threatened to break free.
That moment was undoubtedly among the post-match talking points.
But while Welsh fans mulled the glorious past of the Williams duo, a new rising star was also on their lips.
Wing Robinson, 18, scored the opening try on his debut after being set free by a combination of Lloyd Williams, Ian Evans and Matthew Rees.
The Cardiff Blues wing's pace ensured there was no chance of the visitors running him down on a burst from half-way that had the crowd on its feet..
Hook had kicked an early penalty and converted Robinson's score before completing a 13-0 cushion in the 26th minute with a second penalty.
But when Australian lock Matt Chisholm burst past Robinson, the invitation club were on their way to a try-from-nothing that set up a telling fight-back.
Chisholm sent Donald over, the World Cup-winning New Zealand fly-half also adding the conversion.
The hosts were in further trouble after scrum-half Lloyd Williams was charged down in the shadow of his posts.
Under pressure in defence, prop Rhys Gill was sin-binned for illegally killing the ball.
Video referee Nigel Whitehouse twice told referee Alain Rolland that the Barbarians had failed to score, Scottish number eight Johnnie Beattie and Georgian back-row colleague Mamuka Gorgodze the men denied.
But at the next time of asking erstwhile Wales scrum-half Rees' score was given after he latched on to a loose ball at a ruck.
Donald converted to give the Baa-Baas a one-point lead at the break.

Flanker Williams came on to a warm reception to reach his 100 caps and showed his guile by thwarting Shane Williams' threat.
However, the visitors were not to be denied when Donald went over from close range again, leaving the hosts with it all to do.
Rhys Webb made that task easier by sending out a pass that sent Hook into space and the Perpignan player did the rest on a mazy 35-metre run before converting.
And Shane Williams also played a part in Wales' win' albeit in unintentional fashion.
The retired Osprey launched a counter-attack only to see the man wearing 11 on this occasion, Brew, intercept and run clear for the final try, Hook again coverting.

Stocks in Japan and China led gains on Monday, extending a rally on Wall Street which closed at its highest level so far this year on Friday.

Tokyo's Nikkei 225 finished the session up 1.75% to 17,233.75 points.
Investor sentiment in Japan was given a boost as official machinery orders data showed a 15% jump in January from December, beating estimates.
Japan's machinery orders are seen as a way of gauging capital spending for the next six to nine months.
"Today's data on machinery orders suggest that capital spending will continue to expand this quarter," said Japan economist Marcel Thieliant.
"While a near-term slowdown is likely, we expect the recovery in capital expenditure to resume towards the end of this year," he added.
Meanwhile, Japan's central bank commences its two-day meeting later.
Ahead of the meeting, the International Monetary Fund backed Japan's recent decision to introduce negative interest rates to spur growth.
The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, said unconventional monetary policies should continue if they were accompanied by structural reforms and low inflation.
Elsewhere, Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed up 0.4% to 5,185.50, helped by energy-related stocks which were higher after a rise in oil prices.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed flat at 1,972.27.
Official numbers released over the weekend showed China's industrial output slowed to its weakest growth since the financial crisis. Over the January and February period, production rose by 5.4% - the worst since 2008.
Retail sales in the first two months of the year fell short of expectations, growing by 10.2% - compared with forecasts for a 10.9% rise.
The numbers add to concerns over China's slowdown and the global recovery.
Speaking over the weekend, the governor of China's central bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, said the government would be able to achieve an economic growth target of about 6.5% for the next five years without the need to introduce excessive stimulus measures.
"Excessive monetary policy stimulus isn't necessary to achieve the target," he said. "If there isn't any big economic or financial turmoil, we'll keep prudent monetary policy."
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended the day 1.2% higher at 20,435.34, while the Shanghai Composite closed up 1.8% at 2,859.50.


I have one particularly large wrinkle between my eyebrows I put down to scowling while living in Mexico in my 20s, trying to ward off the hisses and catcalls in the street.

There was one day, though, when I dropped the scowl and chose another tactic.
A scorching summer afternoon, I had popped into a corner shop to buy some water.
As I waited to cross the road, two men in a van started to shout out remarks about my body.
I tried to ignore it, but then something inside me snapped.
I removed the lid of my water bottle and squeezed the entire ice-cold contents in their faces.
The comments certainly stopped, and I felt a whole lot better.
A few years later, I moved to the Middle East. At first, it felt like the polar opposite of Latin America.
A region where men and women do not always interact and where the cliched image of a woman veiled from head-to-toe in black could not be further removed from the equally cliched image of women in bikinis during the Rio Carnival.
But look beyond the obvious, and the two regions have much in common when it comes to the role of women.
Protecting women's honour is a fundamental part of Middle Eastern culture, and it is often used as an excuse for preventing women from having equal rights as men.
You need a man to drive you places in Saudi Arabia, and you need the permission of a male guardian to travel.
One by one, rules limit the way women can live freely.
I often thought about how this compared with the machista culture so prevalent in Latin America - a concept that emphasises manliness.
My Portuguese teacher once tried to explain the difference between sexism and machismo. "Sexism is bad," he said, "but machismo isn't - it's a way of protecting women." I am still struggling to find the positive differences to be honest.
Whether it is honour or so-called machismo, the end result is the same. Women become second-class citizens.
But it can be a hard one to crack, says feminist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro who is Colombian and lives in Mexico City. Men in Latin America are often proud of being machista and many women like their "protective" macho men.
"It's a very Latin belief," she says. "If he isn't being jealous and possessive he doesn't want to be with you and he doesn't love you.  Men are taught to be this way and women are taught to want it."
Since moving back to Latin America, I have lost count of the times I have been asked what it was like as a woman living in the Middle East. "It must have been so hard," people say. To be honest, living in cities such as Mexico City can often feel harder.
While many of my female friends have smiled knowingly at my response, others flatly reject it. "Women here are free," said one. "What's wrong with being complimented in the street? They are appreciating our beauty," said another.
If your "freedom" on the way to work is curtailed by threatening sexual comments, and you are made to feel like an object and not a human being, I question whether that is true liberty.
Having recently spent some time in the Cuban capital, Havana, constantly being hissed at, the word that comes to mind is more "trapped" than "free".
Wherever you look, the statistics are depressing.
In Egypt, female genital mutilation has been banned since 2008 - but government figures show that over 90% of women in Egypt under 50 have experienced FGM.
A 2013 UN study indicated that 99.3% of Egyptian women had experienced some kind of sexual harassment.
But dig around and the statistics in Latin America are pretty grim too.
A recent survey by YouGov for the Thomson Reuters Foundation indicated that of the most dangerous public transport systems for women in the world, the top three were in Latin America:
In Mexico City, they have tried to curb harassment by introducing women-only carriages on the metro, although to mixed success - I often see men getting on in those areas, ignored by authorities.
Latin America has made massive steps - it has female leaders in several countries including Argentina, Chile and Brazil. And Latin American countries signed the Convention of Belem do Para in 1994, which committed countries to improving women's rights and influenced several laws on violence against women.
But law is one thing, reality is another.
In neither Latin America or the Middle East does the law adequately protect women against sexual violence.
In the United Arab Emirates there have been cases of women who have reported rape and ended up being thrown in jail, accused of extra-marital sex.
But countries such as Brazil and Mexico are in the top 10 most dangerous countries to be a woman.
This is not an essay limiting the issues of sexism to Latin America and the Middle East. Far from it. This is about my experience working in both Latin America and the Middle East as a woman - the parallels, the peculiarities and the paradoxes.
I fully realise this is a global issue that has many realities in different societies - rich and poor, conservative and liberal. Indeed, many of my friends in the Middle East and Latin America look at Europe as a place to learn from.
But not long ago a British colleague in his 30s showed surprise when I told him my partner was relocating because of my job. He replied: "But surely when you have babies, you will start following him?"
He was lucky he did not get that bottle of water over his face too.


Oxford Street will be pedestrianised by 2020, the mayor of London's office has said.

All traffic including buses and taxis will be banned from the shopping street - one of the most famous in the world - as part of Sadiq Khan's plans to tackle air pollution.
More than four million people visit Oxford Street each week.
City Hall said the project would be rolled out in two stages to reduce disruption on the 1.2-mile street.
Cars are already banned on most of Oxford Street between 07:00 and 19:00 every day apart from Sunday.
Valerie Shawcross, London's deputy mayor for transport, told the London Assembly on Wednesday that the plan was to ban all traffic along Oxford Street from Tottenham Court Road as far as Marble Arch.
The ban will first be implemented on the eastern section, between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus, she said.
A spokesman said the project would contribute to the mayor's aim of improving air quality and make Oxford Street "a far safer and more pleasant place to visit".
London's first elected mayor, Ken Livingstone, introduced pedestrian-only Christmas shopping days on Oxford Street in 2005.
Traffic-free shopping days have been a feature on both Oxford Street and Regent Street ever since.
The fastest bus journey along the length of Oxford Street is estimated at 4.6mph on weekdays, compared to the walking pace of the average pedestrian at 3.1mph.
Ms Shawcross said buses would be rerouted around Oxford Street, but did not give details of planned routes.
Tom Kearney who was struck by a bus on Oxford Street in 2009 and suffered serious injuries has campaigned since recovering from his accident for the street to be pedestrianised.
He told BBC London the difference that banning all traffic on the street would make would be huge.
Siwan Puw, policy manager at the London Chambers of Commerce, said: "The huge increase in footfall will require clear planning to maximise pedestrian safety and minimise disruption to businesses.
"Doing it in stages certainly has its advantages in that it means trading will continue more easily and any issues can be ironed out as we go along."
But the leader of Westminster Council Philippa Roe pointed out that pedestrianisation was only one of a wide range of options that the West End Partnership had been considering in relation to Oxford Street.
"We are now conducting significant work with our partners, including the Greater London Authority and TfL, that will report back in the autumn," she said.
"The key to any Oxford Street improvements is a very significant reduction of buses that move through the area and we need to ensure that traffic is not displaced creating congestion and air pollution elsewhere."
The New West End Company welcomed the move, having campaigned for a reduction in traffic for many years.
But CEO Jace Tyrrell said: "We feel very strongly that any form of vehicle-free zones must lead to a genuine reduction of traffic, rather than large-scale rerouting down smaller residential or commercial streets."


An armed robbery at a shop in Fraserburgh is being investigated.

A knife was believed to have been used in the incident at Spar in St Modans Place at about 05:55.
No-one was injured, and the man escaped with a three-figure sum of money and other items.
Police Scotland said the suspect was white, between 5ft 10in and 6ft tall, and was wearing safety glasses and had tape on his face. He was wearing a light grey jacket and dark trousers.
Det Sgt Martyn Thomson said: "Thankfully no-one was hurt during the incident, however the staff member who was in the shop at the time was understandably shaken.
"A full investigation, including speaking to witnesses and reviewing CCTV, is under way and I am appealing for anyone who was in the area around the time in question and saw anything suspicious to contact police.
"Likewise anyone who saw a person matching the description provided either before the time of the robbery or after should come forward. You may have vital information which could assist our investigation."


The Antrim Guardian tells the poignant story of a family reunion on its front page.

"Ever since he could remember, all David Martin wanted to do was to shake the hand of a member of his birth family," writes reporter Clare Weir.
A front-page picture shows David and his cousin, Gerry Allen, hugging as they meet for the first time.
The newspaper had a role in this story. It waved its fairy godmother wand and helped David get his appeal out there to find his relatives.
David, 65, had been put up for adoption by his mother in London. All he knew was that her name was Allen and that his mother came from Menin Road, Antrim.
He emailed the Antrim Guardian in May and, within 48 hours of the newspaper hitting the stands, his cousin, Gerry made contact.
"Last Thursday, amid emotional scenes, David walked into St Comgall's parish centre to a huge round of applause and shook Gerry's hand, 'completing the circle' as he described it," says the paper.
David came to Ireland with a file full of documents including harrowing letters from his mother Mary Allen telling how she could not afford to support her child.
The paper also features the story of artist Zoe Baysting who "has the world at her feet" but still feels "drawn" (ouch) to Antrim.
It says that Zoe has been invited to exhibit and sell her work on the online Saatchi Gallery. She has already found one New York client.
She has a studio in Riverside, Antrim, and aims to keep her art "as affordable as possible", she says.
The Ulster Gazette's front-page headline reads: "Kids booze party shock".
The paper says police had to remove a two-litre bottle of cider from a 14-year-old girl at the weekend.
The Gazette says children are being "bussed in" from Portadown to Tandragee so that they can meet up at underage drinking dens.
It quotes a local police inspector who reminds parents to ensure that they know where their children are.
The Gazette also looks back 50 years to a gas explosion at Callan Street, Armagh, in 1967.
Five-year-old Brendan Donnelly was killed and 19 others were injured in two separate blasts on 21 and 22 July.
The paper's headline at the time reads: "Like war-time bomb blast with casualties".
The paper reported that a leading forensics expert was one of 16 people injured in the second explosion - he had been investigating the first blast at the time.
Special tribute was paid to a Constable Orr from Orangefield.
"He was seen staggering from the tunnel with a child in his arms after extinguishing its clothing and who, despite his injuries, drove the police car full of casualties to our City Hospital," said the paper.
Under the headline: "Left in Limbo", the Newry Democrat  features a picture of Caoimhe McDonnell. The paper says she is one of "many children" in the Newry and Mourne area who are not getting respite care.
Caoimhe, 15, has Down's Syndrome and her father, Jim, is accusing the Southern Trust of "mismanagement" over respite arrangements.
He claims the trust has cancelled pre-booked care for children who need respite and this can happen sometimes with just an hour's notice.
He is the chairman of Carrickore Respite Parents Group and claims the group is about to disband over this "fiasco".
The Southern Trust told the paper it fully appreciated the importance of short breaks for children and young people with disabilities and the significant impact that can have on families.
The spokesperson said young people could have a range of behaviours and needs can escalate quickly which means it may be necessary, on occasion, to cancel or rearrange planned breaks.
In the paper's Down Memory Lane section, retired butcher Fred McElroy reflects on how times have changed since his father, Paddy, opened his first butcher's shop in Water Street, Newry.
His father kept pigs in the yard and, in the war years, there was a brisk trade in rabbit. People ate more offal back then too - liver and kidneys were very popular up until the 1980s, he said.
Highland dancers and pipers feature on the front page of the Londonderry Sentinel under the headline: "Relief of City to draw thousands".
The paper says about 8,000 Apprentice Boys accompanied by 150 bands are to take to the streets of Derry on Saturday and that this year's parade will be led by a band from England for the first time.
It is the culmination of the Maiden City Festival which, the Sentinel says, is expected to attract 30,000 people over the four days.
The paper also reports on the unveiling of a blue plaque in the city dedicated to Irish poet Francis Ledwidge who was killed in World War One.
The plaque is at Ebrington Square - the site of the old barracks where the "poet of the blackbird" was stationed during his time with the Inniskilling Fusiliers.
"He is thought to have written many of his most famous pieces of poetry there," says the paper.
The Fermanagh Herald's front page describes chaotic scenes in Enniskillen town centre on Monday when a prisoner in handcuffs made an escape bid from police custody.
It says Connor Floyd, 19, from Main Street in Maguiresbridge made off from a police car as he was being transported to Enniskillen Magistrates Court for a bail hearing.
He was pursued by police on foot and in patrol cars, with Monday's court proceedings being "delayed by almost half an hour while the incident was ongoing", before Floyd was returned to custody.
The paper also reports that the fight to save the stroke unit at South West Acute Hospital has stepped up a gear, with a large crowd attending a public meeting in Enniskillen on Monday night.
It says the unit is under threat as part of a proposed shake-up at health trusts across Northern Ireland, but notes that the Western Trust has repeatedly stressed to the Herald that they intend to keep it open.
Elsewhere, the paper reports that an online petition has been launched calling for all services at the hospital to be protected and enhanced.
The front page of the Tyrone Constitution reflects a councillor's concerns about road safety in the West Tyrone area.
Ulster Unionist councillor Bert Wilson says communities in West Tyrone are suffering because of "miserably inadequate funding", speeding motorists, and Stormont deadlock.
He adds: "Road safety is one thing that has been compromised as a result and I have to ask is it going to take a tragedy to see action?"
The Department for Infrastructure said West Tyrone has had an "equitable share of the limited funding available" and highlighted a range of "recent substantial resurfacing works and other ancillary improvements along sections of roads".
The PSNI said it had conducted speed detection and awareness operations in Greencastle and Rouskey in recent days after concerns were raised by residents.


Police have said a viable device was found during a security alert at Gelvin Gardens, Londonderry.

About 20 houses were evacuated at 17:00 GMT on Sunday after the discovery of a suspicious object.
Residents were allowed back into their homes four hours later. Army bomb experts are now examining the object.
Police do not believe the motive was sectarian nor is it being linked to recent attacks in other parts of Northern Ireland.
The SDLP MLA, Gerard Diver, said he understood the device to be a pipe bomb. He described the incident as "disgusting".
"Clearly, whoever put this device (there) had no regard for the safety and well being of the people of Gelvin Gardens," said Mr Diver.
"These are lethal devices. This is a device that could kill people very easily or maim people.
"It's disgusting, repugnant and something I think this entire community rejects."
Speaking during the alert on Sunday evening, community worker Geraldine Doherty said people were very angry.
"The anger is palpable," she said.
"You have to condemn attacks like this at all times."


They never got round to making a sequel to the classic 1963 movie The Great Escape, but Newport County might just be about to put that right.

If they beat Notts County at a sold out Rodney Parade on Saturday, they will avoid relegation from the Football League four years after re-emerging from the football wilderness of the non-leagues.
Not bad for a side 11 points adrift of safety in League Two before caretaker boss Mike Flynn took over in March.
They might not even need to win. If title-chasing Doncaster win at Hartlepool it does not matter what County do, but supporters can expect those fingernails nibbled close to the quick on a monumental afternoon for club football in Wales.
For those long-associated with Newport football this weekend has a familiar feel.
Forty years ago, in 1977, Newport were  staring down the barrel of losing their Football League status before executing their original incredible escape.
For Flynn this time, back then read Colin Addison, who took over in the January as manager with County eight points from safety at the bottom of the League pyramid.
Then it took five wins on the bounce, culminating in a 1-0 win home victory over Workington, to save the club.
This time the stakes are even higher.
Back in 1977, Newport would have applied for re-election to the League. This time, for Flynn and his men, failure on Saturday and the National League yawns wide and very unwelcome.
Addison, now 76, recalls the dramatic end to that 1976-77 season and has some words of advice for the man looking to follow in his footsteps.
"When I took over in the January, we were rock bottom, we had it all to do. We looked doomed," Addison told BBC Wales Sport.
"But it was a massive effort from all at the club. We just kept going, the lads saw it through, it became known as 'the great escape' and right now I want to see Mike Flynn do the same.
"Since Mike has taken over he's done a superb job. There's going to be a big crowd and a great atmosphere and, hopefully, Newport will finish the job.
"There were plenty of words (before the Workington game), but the big one was motivation. That's the important one to any manager at any level.
"But the lads were superb, they responded to me, they responded to my words. I looked to them to be bold and brave. Be positive and make things happen and Mike will be doing all that now.
"I'm quietly confident they will do it. And I will be there."
Also amongst what looks likely to be a record crowd for a football game at Rodney Parade will be one of the men on the pitch in that massive Workington clash, former defender John Relish who also went on to manage Newport.
"I think it is actually the biggest game in the club's history, they've just got to get that result," said Relish.
"To be honest I am getting a bit nervous. Obviously I remember the game against Workington which we had to win.
"I thought County were down and out when they were 11 points adrift and that's why I say there are parallels.
"In 1977 Colin Addison came in and he was just like a breath of fresh air and Michael Flynn's done something similar this time around. That rings bells with me from all those years ago."
And Relish too has every faith in Flynn this weekend, after all, he has known the 36-year-old County caretaker boss a rather long time.
"I remember Michael when he was 14 when he came to the club's academy, which I was running then," he added.
"He stood out then. He was a chirpy, confident lad. He had real character and a bounce about him.
"You knew he was going to make a career as a footballer and even then it was not a stretch to think he would go on and be a coach and manager. He just wanted to know everything.
"I'm delighted, he's a first class lad and Newport through and through."
There have been plenty of kind words said and written about Flynn ahead of this epic encounter and, if The Great Escape II is achieved this weekend, one more will surely be added to him at his hometown club.
And that word is legend.


The Mexico national football team captain Rafa Márquez has denied US accusations that he has links with a drugs cartel.

Mr Márquez said he would co-operate with investigations and has made a voluntary declaration to Mexico's attorney general.
He was one of 21 people and 42 organisations singled out by the US treasury department for sanctions.
They are all accused of ties to alleged drug trafficker Raul Flores Hernández.
The US alleges that Mr Márquez acted as a "front person" for Mr Hernández through his football school and several health and sports outlets.
Mexican singer Julio César Álvarez is also on the list.
In a statement, the US treasury department said the organisations and individuals highlighted had "longstanding relationships with Flores Hernández... acted as front persons for him and his DTO [drug-trafficking organisation] and held assets on their behalf".
The statement said the ruling meant that any assets of theirs under US jurisdiction or controlled by people in the US would be frozen.
Mr Álvarez rejected the claims against him and also defended Mr Marquez.
"He's got one of the longest careers in football," he said in a post on Facebook. "Do you really think he would need to do something like this?"
Mr Márquez, 38, has represented Mexico in four World Cups and won more than 140 international caps in two decades with the national side.
Having played for European club sides Monaco and Barcelona, where he won the Spanish league four times and the Champions League twice, the defender returned to Mexico in 2015 to rejoin his first club Atlas, where he remains captain.


The largest crowd in golf history saw Phil Mickelson shoot a six-under-par 65 to move into contention after the third round of the Phoenix Open.

An estimated 201,003 fans attended the Scottsdale event, taking the week's total crowd to 535,035.
Five-time major winner Mickelson is five shots adrift of leader Danny Lee, who is 13 under after carding a 67.
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama (68) and Rickie Fowler (70) of the United States are tied second on 10-under.
Ireland's Shane Lowry, who was three shots off the lead after the second round, slipped to joint 10th after a one-over 72 left him on six under par.
The previous largest crowd - also at the Stadium Course - was 189,722 in 2014.


The oven gloves are off as the final three bakers left in the Great British Bake Off take to the tent one last time in a bid to be crowned champion.

Jane Beedle, Candice Brown and Andrew Smyth are the only contestants left from the 12 who started this series.
They will face three rounds on Wednesday night's show before one is crowned the winner.
The episode is the last to be seen on the BBC after it lost the rights to the show to Channel 4.
The final show will see them create a signature challenge involving meringues and take part in a technical challenge set by Mary Berry asking them to make a British classic with just one instruction.
They will then have to produce a showstopper said to be the most complex ever set in Bake Off history, with the most bakes ever requested for a challenge.
The result will then be revealed in front of the trio's family, friends and their former Bake Off colleagues.
This year's competition has seen the baking enthusiasts compete against each other in rounds that took in patisserie, desserts and pastry. There were also two new rounds for 2016 - Tudor and botanical.
Garden designer Jane, 61, was the first to be named star baker in this, the seventh series of the amateur baking contest.
She is known for her traditional - but often intricate - bakes, including a marzipan cake decorated with swans for Tudor week.
Youngest finalist Andrew, 25, uses the skills from his career as an aerospace engineer to help him, with his products including a tower of pies that fitted together and turned like cogs.
PE teacher Candice, 31, has drawn on her family history with some of her bakes, including a memorable gingerbread replica of the pub she lived in as a child.
She has been star baker three times, while Andrew has been awarded the honour twice.
If this year's winner follows the path of previous champions, they have television shows and cookery books to look forward to in their future careers.
Paul Hollywood is following the show when it moves to Channel 4, while fellow judge Berry and hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have announced they are leaving.
Berry told Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 that she will work with Giedroyc and Perkins again - joking that a future project could involve gardening.
She said: "We have made no decisions whatsoever, we haven't actually all three got together, but we will do something because we're good pals, and who knows what it would be?
"Well, it may not be baking, you never know, it could be gardening. I'm a very keen gardener you know."
She said her decision to stay with the BBC had been made "straight away" when she learned the corporation had lost Bake Off.
Berry said: "It was a gut feeling and I made it straight away for myself, having discussed it with my family and others. I'm very happy I've stayed with the BBC."
She added: "I'm sure the programme will go on to be a little bit different, but it will still be wonderful."
Programme makers Love Productions are yet to reveal who else will front the show alongside Hollywood.
The Great British Bake Off started on BBC Two in 2010 before switching to BBC One in 2014.
Last year's final, won by Nadiya Hussain, was the UK's most watched television programme of 2015.
The Great British Bake Off final is on BBC One at 20:00 BST.

A British man was among 11 al-Shabab fighters killed during an attack on a military base in Kenya, officials in the country have confirmed.

Thomas Evans, 25, from Buckinghamshire, was among an armed group which attacked the base on Sunday.
Evans, a Muslim convert who changed his name to Abdul Hakim, contacted his family in 2012 to say he had travelled to Somalia to join the militant group.
It is not known if his family has been informed.
The attack happened in Lamu County, on Kenya's northern coast, close to the Somali border.
Militants armed with AK47s and grenades assaulted the military base and then stormed a nearby village.
Eleven gunmen were killed and two Kenyan soldiers also died.
In a statement released earlier by Thames Valley Police, Evans's mother Sally Evans had said: "My son Michael and I are currently awaiting official confirmation regarding the death of my son Thomas.
"We cannot comment any further at this time and request the press respect our privacy."
Ms Evans had previously told a committee of MPs that there had been a "massive failure" by UK authorities in allowing her son to leave Britain.
He had managed to fly to Egypt in 2011 after being stopped from going to Kenya months earlier.
Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, Mrs Evans said her son had been a "normal teenage lad" before turning to Islam in 2009.
Ms Evans, from Wooburn Green, said she was initially pleased as he had previously gone off the rails.
"He had done one or two things I wasn't proud of, so I was quite happy for him to follow Islam if that was what he wanted," she said.
"But slowly he started to drift down a path that was not right."
Ms Evans said her son began refusing to use the same pots and pans as her and his younger brother, Michael.
At the age of 21, Thomas Evans announced he was moving to Kenya and bought a single plane ticket.
He was turned back at the airport by police, but later sold his CDs and other possessions and told his family he was travelling to Egypt.
"I was relieved, because he said he was only going for six months to learn the language," his mother said. "He did tell me he was coming home."
In August 2011, police came to their house and told them they had lost track of him. The following January he called and said he had joined al-Shabab.
"He rang up then and told us he was in Somalia and had joined al-Shabab, and not to worry," Ms Evans said.
"In all honesty, I didn't know what al-Shabab was."
Ms Evans said she had given police all the information she had, as she would have preferred her son to be in prison in the UK than dead or carrying out atrocities abroad.
"Then at least I would know that he was safe," she added.
At least 50 British citizens are believed to have joined al-Shabab - an al-Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia, which has been behind a series of high-profile attacks in Kenya and Somalia.


The father of a British teenager who travelled to Syria to join jihadists believes his son was radicalised by an imam at a UK mosque.

Rahim Kalantar told the BBC his son Ali, 18, travelled to Syria with two friends from Coventry in March and believed he was now fighting with Isis.
He said he was sent "down this road" by an imam - who denied the allegations.
Up to 500 Britons are thought to have travelled to the Middle East to fight in the conflict, officials say.
Mr Kalantar - speaking to BBC Two's Newsnight, in collaboration with the BBC's Afghan Service and Newsday - said he worries about his son Ali "every minute" and that his grief is "limitless".
He said he believed Ali - who was planning to study computer science at university - had been radicalised during classes at a mosque after evening prayer.
"He [the imam] encouraged them and sent them down this road," he said.
The BBC contacted the mosque to speak to the imam, who refused to give an interview but said he completely denied the allegations.
Ali is believed to have travelled to Syria with Rashed Amani, also 18, who had been studying business at Coventry University.
Rashed's father, Khabir, said family members had travelled to the Turkish-Syrian border in the hope of finding the boys, but came back "empty-handed" after searching for more than two weeks.
He said he did not know what had happened to his son, who he fears has joined Isis - the militant-led group that has made rapid advances through Iraq in recent weeks.
"Maybe somebody worked with him, I don't know. Maybe somebody brainwashed him because he was not like that," he said.
The third teenager, Moh Ismael, is also believed to be in Syria with his friends. He is understood to have posted a message on Twitter saying he was with Isis.
It comes after Britons - including Reyaad Khan and Nasser Muthana from Cardiff - featured in an apparent recruitment video for jihadists in Iraq and Syria.
The video was posted online on Friday by accounts with links to Isis.
The BBC has learned a third Briton in the video is from Aberdeen. The man, named locally as Raqib, grew up in Scotland but was originally from Bangladesh.
Lord Carlile, a former independent reviewer of terrorism laws, told the BBC that the Muslim community was best placed to stop jihadists recruiting in the UK.
The Liberal Democrat peer also said the UK needed to reintroduce tougher measures to stop terrorism.
It comes after former MI6 director, Richard Barrett, said security services would not be able to track all Britons who return to the UK after fighting in Syria.
He said the number of those posing a threat would be small but unpredictable.
The Metropolitan Police has insisted it has the tools to monitor British jihadists returning from that country.
Shiraz Maher, a radicalisation expert, told Newsnight that social media was now acting as a recruitment ground for potential jihadists in the UK.
"You have hundreds of foreign fighters on the ground who in real time are giving you a live feed of what is happening and they are engaged in a conversation.
"It is these individual people who have been empowered to become recruiters in their own right," he said.
Lord Carlile said the "most important partners" in preventing young Muslims from being radicalised were the "Muslim communities themselves".
"Mothers, wives, sisters do not want their husbands, brothers, sons to become valid jihadists and run the risk of being killed in a civil war," he told the programme.
He also told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme that the government should look at reintroducing "something like control orders", which were scrapped in 2011 and replaced with the less restrictive Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPims).
He said: "We need to look at preventing violent extremism before people leave the country and also we need to look for further measures."


Work on Manchester City's new football academy is set to start within the next few weeks, the club has said.

The development includes building a 7,000-seater stadium for youth matches and 16 training pitches.
A new sixth form college and community facilities will also be built on the 80 acre site next to the Etihad Stadium.
The club said it had chosen BAM Construction as its construction partner and work was due to be completed before the 2014/15 season.
It said most of the jobs created on the site will be for local people.
Chief Executive Ferran Soriano said: "Today is an extremely important day for the future of Manchester City Football Club.
"The development of young and home-grown players is central to our strategy of creating both a winning team and a sustainable football club - an ambition outlined by Sheikh Mansour at the outset of his ownership in September 2008.
"We are now in a position, after four years of research and planning, to execute that strategy and we are delighted to join with BAM who will play a large part in helping us to do so."
Manchester City's football development executive, Patrick Viera, said it was vital to put investment in to produce players of the future.
He said: "It is really important that we have a project.
"When we are talking about developing young players, we are talking about time - like five, ten years.
"People have to be patient and spending time with young people at the academy I can tell you that in a few years they will be good, good players."
The academy, which will be linked to the Etihad stadium by a bridge, will feature a first team building with changing rooms, gym, refectory and injury and rehab centre.
There will also be accommodation for junior and senior players on site.
Manchester City Council chief executive Sir Howard Bernstein said it would benefit the whole area.


France has become the 14th country to approve a law allowing gay marriage.

The bill, which also legalises adoption by same-sex couples, was passed by 321 votes to 225 in the French parliament.
The decision follows a divisive public debate with some of the biggest protests seen in France in recent years.
Hundreds of opponents of the measure rallied outside the National Assembly building in central Paris as the result was announced.
The leader of the most high-profile group opposing same-sex marriage vowed to continue the fight.
Frigide Barjot, a comedian who uses her stage name, told her supporters: "We are going to show them that this is not over. I solemnly ask the president to hold a referendum on the subject."
Inside the National Assembly chamber, two opponents tried to unfurl a banner before being ejected.
Thousands of police armed with water cannon were deployed near parliament to deal with any repeat of the violence seen on the fringes of previous demonstrations.
Although rallies opposing the change have been overwhelmingly peaceful, there have been some clashes, blamed on far-right elements.
Opinion polls suggest a small majority of French people favour gay marriage, but surveys indicate fewer support adoption by same-sex couples.
Socialist President Francois Hollande made the law his flagship social reform.
He is expected to add his signature to the bill once it has cleared any challenge in the constitutional council.
Opponents of the measure, including the opposition UMP party, will try to convince the council that marriage is a constitutional issue.
However, analysts say that the council is unlikely to block the new law.
The first weddings could take place in June, according to Justice Minister Christiane Taubira.
"We believe that the first weddings will be beautiful and that they'll bring a breeze of joy, and that those who are opposed to them today will surely be confounded when they are overcome with the happiness of the newlyweds and the families," she told the National Assembly.
Some argue this is the most important social reform in France since the death penalty was banned in 1981, says the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris.
France is now the 14th country to legalise gay marriage after New Zealand last week.
It is also the ninth country in Europe to allow same-sex marriage after legalisation in the traditionally liberal Netherlands and Scandinavia, but also in strongly Catholic Portugal and Spain. Legislation is also moving through the UK Parliament.
But the measure has aroused stronger than expected opposition in France - a country where the Catholic Church was thought to have lost much of its influence over the public.
In January, a protest in Paris against the bill attracted some 340,000 people according to police - one of the biggest public demonstrations in France in decades. Organisers put the figure at 800,000.
Since then both sides have held regular street protests.
The opponents, backed by the Catholic Church and conservative opposition, say France already has civil partnerships for homosexual couples, and extending rights to marriage undermines an essential building block of society.


Huge crowds gathered in towns and cities across the UK as firework displays were held to celebrate the arrival of 2015.

Tens of thousands of people flocked to Edinburgh and London to attend the annual parties there, and other events took place across the UK to welcome the new year.
Read more about the celebrations.
Edinburgh held its customary Hogmanay street party, culminating in a shower of fireworks over the castle.
Around 75,000 people from across the world could be heard counting down the final moments of 2014 in Edinburgh before joining in a mass rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
The traditional torchlight procession through the streets of the Scottish capital included men dressed as Shetland vikings.
Revellers also flocked to London in their thousands to see the fireworks display along the Thames.
The sky was illuminated in pink over the London Eye.
It was the first year attendees have had to buy tickets to watch the fireworks in central London - a step which London Mayor Boris Johnson said would help ensure the safety of the 100,000-strong crowd.
Although attendance was kept at lower levels than in previous years in London, the clean-up operation in London will last well into 1 January.
Fireworks marked the unveiling of a Rugby World Cup 2015 emblem over the River Tyne in Newcastle, one of the tournament's 11 host cities.
Lisa Williams sent in this photo of her partner, her two sons and her father celebrating in her garden in Macclesfield.

A double-decker bus has crashed into a railway bridge in Rochdale, shearing off the roof and injuring 17 people.

The incident happened in Milkstone Road shortly before 12:30 BST. Fourteen ambulances were sent to the scene.
One man in his 20s suffered a broken jaw and a woman was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries.
Twenty-five people were on board and managed to get off the vehicle, which was not on its usual route. The bus company has launched an investigation.
Paramedics treated passengers at the scene.
Greater Manchester Police said one person was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries.
Police said in a statement: "The roof of the bus was completely ripped off on impact. There were approximately 25 passengers on the bus at the time and 17 people have been treated at the scene for minor injuries."
Insp Stephen Clarke said: "Clearly there are lots of people in shock, but luckily no one was trapped on the bus. Our investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing and we would encourage anyone with information to get in touch."
First Buses said the number 17 bus was not on its usual route from Manchester to Rochdale. It was about half-a-mile away from its usual route on Manchester Road.
Teresa Broxton, managing director of First Manchester said: "Our primary focus remains the support of our injured customers and our driver. We will continue to offer our help to all those affected by this serious incident.
"We have launched an immediate investigation into the cause of the incident and will work closely with the emergency services as part of that work."
A company spokesman said the female bus driver, who joined the company in June, was "in shock" but uninjured.
Eyewitness Mohammed Waqas said: "I was walking down the road when I just saw the bus crash with bridge. [sic]
"Really bad, people really hurt, some people crying."
He added: "Even I saw the driver, she was crying, and after a few minutes the police come and move the people away."
Network Rail said its engineers are on site working to resolve the problem at the railway bridge and the company apologised to customers for the disruption.
The scene is still sealed off at the moment although the remains of the double-decker, the mangled wreckage, has been taken away on a low loader.
The bus struck the railway bridge close to Rochdale's main railway station just after 12.30 BST, where broken glass is still scattered over the road.
Scores of people rushed out to help the passengers on board.
A joint investigation is now under way with police and First Bus, which operates the service.
Eleven people are now being treated in hospital.
Sue Schofield works in a local pharmacy. She said: "They were in shock. They seemed quite calm, but obviously shaking in shock, some crying - they wanted some help basically. We got the people downstairs and off the bus."
Daisy Murphy was a passenger on the lower deck of the bus and said: "I was at the back at the bottom and I got flung forward down the aisle. Everyone got together and helped to get everyone off the bus. But it was so scary."


The meningitis ACWY vaccine is to be offered in all Hampshire secondary schools from January 2018.

Currently the jab is offered through GP surgeries in the south of the county and school nurses in the north.
NHS England said there was "strong evidence that providing immunisation in schools increases uptake".
Hampshire is among 19 out of 152 English local authority areas where not all children are vaccinated through schools.
Six areas offer the vaccine through GP practices, while 13 have a mixed school and GP delivery model, according to the latest data for 2015/16.
The Men ACWY vaccine was introduced in August 2015, replacing the Men C jab.
It followed "a rapid rise in a new and particularly deadly strain of meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia (Men W)", the Meningitis Research Foundation said.
Head of research Linda Glennie said: "It's good news that the NHS in Wessex will now offer adolescent vaccines through schools.
"Uptake of Men ACWY vaccine via the school route has been as high as 84% in some areas. Unfortunately, uptake among older teenagers who were offered it free from their GP has been worryingly low - only 33% of school leavers in 2016 had taken up the vaccine."
In a statement, NHS England Wessex said it had decided to change its delivery programme to improve take-up rates.
The government said the number of children vaccinated in Hampshire was unknown "due to technical difficulties in extracting data".
Meningitis W infection is fatal in one in 10 cases and can lead to long-term health problems including deafness, epilepsy and amputations.
Public Health England has urged young people going to college or university to be vaccinated, because their risk of contracting the disease is higher.


A Buddhist monk in South Korea has died after setting himself on fire in protest over a 2015 deal struck with Japan on wartime sex slaves.

The monk, named as Venerable Jung-won, 64, staged the protest on Saturday at a rally against President Park Geun-hye.
He died on Monday night at a hospital in Seoul due to multiple organ failures caused by his burns.
Activists have been campaigning for justice for the women, referred to as "comfort women", for decades.
In 2015, Ms Park reached a deal with Japan which saw it promise to pay into a fund for South Korean women who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War Two.
As part of the deal, the two countries agreed that the compensation and an apology would "finally and irreversibly" resolve the matter.
But critics have said the deal does not go far enough in holding Japan responsible for wartime abuses, and does not directly compensate the women.
Venerable Jung-won had left a suicide note in which he called Ms Park a "traitor".
The social justice committee of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism said he had "sacrificed his life to convey people's sentiment including... the demand for President Park Geun-Hye to resign".
"We hope that no lives will be lost like this and the whole country will be stabilised soon," said the statement, according to AFP.
Tensions between the two countries increased last Friday after Tokyo withdrew its ambassador to South Korea in a row over a statue representing sex slaves.
Japan said the 1.5m-tall (5ft) bronze statue depicting a young, barefoot woman sitting in a chair, was a violation of the 2015 agreement.
On Sunday, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe demanded the removal of the statue from outside Japan's consulate in the South Korean city of Busan. It is one of several which have been put up around South Korea by activists.
"The South Korean side should show its sincerity,'' he said on Japanese TV. He said the 2015 agreement should be implemented as a "matter of credibility".
At the time of the deal, 46 former "comfort women" were still alive in South Korea.
The issue has been one of several raised at the regular rallies against Ms Park in Seoul in recent months.
Ms Park has been embroiled in a scandal involving a close friend who has been charged with corruption.
She has been suspended from duties since December, when parliament voted to impeach her.


An air rifle has been found by children playing on waste ground near Jonesborough market in County Armagh.

Police said those who dumped the firearm were "despicable and dangerous".
The rifle was discovered on Monday along with a gun cabinet and ammunition.
Police said the items had been stolen during a burglary in Lurgan on 9 December.
"We are extremely fortunate that no one was hurt," said Sgt Sam Hoey.
"The fact that a child found it does not bear thinking about."
The children did not touch the items and alerted their parents to the discovery, police said.


Ministers are being encouraged to expand a scheme which transfers UK aid money directly to those living in poverty in the developing world.

The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) says cash transfers are a "proven method" of helping the world's poorest.
The watchdog has recommended the £200m programme be scaled up.
The Department for International Development said cash transfers achieved "value for taxpayers' money".
The report from the ICAI said there was strong evidence that making small cash payments to targeted households helped them buy basic food and amenities and could encourage people to save money.
It added that there was no evidence the cash was spent on alcohol or gambling.
The Department for International Development (DfID) spends £201m a year on so-called "cash transfers" to vulnerable individuals - but the policy has come under attack in the press.
The Daily Mail newspaper recently claimed cash-transfer programmes funded by UK taxpayers resulted in money "being stolen and embezzled".
Conservative MP Nigel Evans told the newspaper it looked like the UK was "exporting dole".
But Commons International Development Committee chairman Stephen Twigg said that "contrary to recent coverage" the report proved "cash transfers are an effective means of development".
The ICAI acknowledged that some of the programmes funded by the UK had experienced teething problems.
In Nigeria, for example, workers on a project giving cash to vulnerable expectant mothers had to introduce random pregnancy tests after some women who weren't pregnant joined the scheme.
But the commission said DfID "should consider scaling up its financial contributions" where there was evidence of support from national governments.
The department has a target of reaching six million people a year through the schemes, including programmes targeting pregnant women and new mothers in Nigeria, elderly people in Uganda and parents in Pakistan who receive payments if their children attend school.
Oxfam's head of UK policy Tim Livesey said the report confirmed what many in the sector already knew, that cash payments could be "one of the best, fastest and safest ways to help people".
A DfID spokesman said: "Cash transfers get aid to those who need it, when they need it, and achieve value for taxpayers' money - and this independent report recognises that.
"Small cash transfers can be the difference between food and no food for families who are living on less than two dollars a day. They empower people to make decisions about what they need, cut out the middle man, and reduce waste."


Derbyshire fought back through Chesney Hughes and Wayne Madsen to take the match against Glamorgan into day four.

Hughes hit 122, his third century of the season, and shared a third-wicket stand of 181 with Madsen (90) as Derbyshire moved from 78-1 to 413-6.
Just two wickets fell in the first two sessions, both to Graham Wagg, on a flat pitch in scorching temperatures.
The visitors reached stumps at Colwyn Bay leading by 72, with captain Billy Godleman unbeaten on 66.
Godleman and Shiv Thakor with an aggressive 29 pushed Derbyshire into the lead in the evening session and set up the chance of giving Glamorgan an awkward target to chase.
Despite a tough day for the bowlers, Glamorgan wicketkeeper Mark Wallace took his tally of catches in the match to eight, one short of the club record held by Colin Metson.
The blazing heat was in sharp contrast to the teams' previous meeting in April at Derby, which was interrupted by snow, sleet and hail.
Glamorgan wicket-keeper Mark Wallace told BBC Wales Sport: "It was hard work, harder if you're a bowler but we get so many games when it's cold and windy, you can't complain- it's been beautiful, proper North Walian weather.
"Hopefully it'll be less warm, overcast and better bowling conditions so we can pick up these last four wickets. As soon as they got ahead the game gets a little bit different but it's a good pitch, it's a small ground and any total around 200 is still very chaseable.
"(Eight catches behind the wickets) shows how well the seamers have bowled on a pretty unresponsive surface, but four more wickets to get, we'll take them any way they come."
Derbyshire batsman Chesney Hughes told BBC Radio Derby: "I enjoyed that one, the last four games I haven't got the scores I wanted to, so to get a hundred meant a lot and I thought I played well for it, because the ball swung for the majority of the morning.
"It's a pitch that's taken 30-degree heat for two days so it is breaking up and getting harder, so we know as a team that if we can get by that morning session and get a decent score on the board, it's game on.
"Ten first-class hundreds and I think I'm just starting to be a player now, so I look forward to scoring more!"


A man accused of ripping a niqab from a Muslim woman in a Sunderland shopping centre and shouting racist abuse is to face a crown court hearing.

Peter Scotter, 55, is charged with racially aggravated common assault on the woman, who was with her nine-year-old daughter, on 3 July.
Magistrates in Sunderland heard the alleged incident at the city's Bridges centre left the woman with neck pain.
The case was referred to Newcastle Crown Court for a hearing on 16 August.
Mr Scotter, of Beach Street, Sunderland, did not enter a plea during the brief hearing.
He is also accused of causing alarm, harassment or distress to a female police officer called to attend the incident.
Chairman of the Bench Robert Dash said: "We consider that the allegations are so serious we cannot deal with them.
"We are going to therefore refer you to Newcastle Crown Court."
Mr Scotter made gestures to photographers as he left the court.


The French national anthem - La Marseillaise - will be played before all of this weekend's Premier League matches.

Premier League chief Richard Scudamore said it was an act of "solidarity and remembrance" after the Paris attacks, in which 130 people died.
Fans had united to sing La Marseillaise before England's win over France at Wembley on Tuesday.
There are 72 French footballers who play in the Premier League.
"Given how close we are, as well as the long-standing relationship that exists between the Premier League and France, playing La Marseillaise as an act of solidarity and remembrance is the right thing to do," said Scudamore.
Watford and Manchester United each had a French player in their starting line-up - Etienne Capoue for the former and Morgan Schneiderlin for the latter - and both sang their nation's anthem prior to the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.
Chelsea's players wore black armbands incorporating the French flag during their home game with Norwich City on Saturday.
Newcastle United's players also wore black armbands during their home match with Leicester City.
The Premier League has briefed each club on the current threat alert and existing security guidance.


The US student held in captivity for more than 15 months in North Korea has died a week after returning home.

Otto Warmbier, 22, was serving 15 years of hard labour for attempting to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel.
He was sent back to the US last Tuesday on humanitarian grounds - it emerged he had been in a coma for a year.
North Korea said he had contracted botulism but his family say North Korea subjected him to "awful torturous mistreatment" in detention.
A team of US doctors have also disputed North Korea's version of events.
Mr Warmbier had suffered severe brain damage, and was medically evacuated from North Korea on 13 June to a hospital in his home city of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is unclear how he fell ill.
A statement from the family on Monday said: "It is our sad duty to report that our son, Otto Warmbier, has completed his journey home. Surrounded by his loving family, Otto died today at 2:20pm."
They said the student had been "unable to speak, unable to see and unable to react to verbal commands".
"The awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today."
The economics student from the University of Virginia had travelled to North Korea as a tourist.
A month after his arrest, he appeared at a news conference tearfully confessing to trying to take a sign from his hotel as a "trophy" for a US church.
"The aim of my task was to harm the motivation and work ethic of the Korean people," he said.
Foreign detainees in North Korea have previously recanted confessions, saying they were made under pressure.
The company Mr Warmbier travelled with, China-based company Young Pioneer Tours, has announced it will no longer take visitors from the US to the country.
"The way his detention was handled was appalling and a tragedy like this must never be repeated," it said in a statement.
"Despite constant requests, we were denied any opportunity to meet him or anyone in contact with him in Pyongyang, only receiving assurances that he was fine."
North Korea said last week that it had released Mr Warmbier "on humanitarian grounds".
Shortly before he was freed, his parents told the Washington Post newspaper they had been informed by the North Korean authorities that their son had contracted botulism, a rare illness that causes paralysis, soon after his trial.
He was given a sleeping pill and had been in a coma ever since, the newspaper said.
But a team of doctors assessing him in Cincinnati said they had found "no sign of botulism".
Doctors confirmed that there was no sign he had been physically abused during his detention, based on scans.
They believe respiratory arrest led to his condition, which is caused by a lack of oxygen and blood in the brain.
President Donald Trump said Mr Warmbier's death had deepened his administration's resolve "to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency".
"The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim," the presidential statement added.


An investigation into alleged tax evasion by 35 clubs in Italy's top two divisions is taking place.

The country's finance police are executing search warrants as they carry out asset seizures to the reported value of 12m euros (£9.1m).
The case involves 58 people involved in professional football, a Naples prosecutor said in a statement.
Lawyers for AC Milan said vice president Adriano Galliani was among those under investigation.
In a statement on the club's website, the lawyers dismissed the allegations as unfounded and said they expected the case to be dismissed.
The investigation, dubbed 'Fuorigioco' (Offside), is believed to concern allegations of falsifying player transactions.


Members of the Irish National Teachers' Organisation (INTO) are beginning industrial action in a dispute over pay.

Its members will not take part in any school inspections carried out by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) until further notice.
Two other teaching unions will begin similar action later this month.
They are the Ulster Teachers' Union (UTU) and Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL).
General secretary of the UTU Avril Hall-Callaghan told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that teachers' resources were already "limited" and time should be spent teaching pupils - not preparing for inspections.
"We've sent a letter to all our members to hand to inspectors in the classroom. It says teachers won't be doing any teaching while they are there," she said.
"Pupils will work independently on something provided by the teacher, and we would hope that the inspector would be sympathetic and leave the classroom at that point so that teachers can get back to work.
"All teachers appreciate that some form of check has to be kept on the system but we also believe that there is far too much bureaucracy."
The INTO had previously announced that its 7,000 members would stage a half-day strike on Wednesday 18 January but are also taking ongoing action short of a strike.
The ETI carries out a rolling programme of inspections in schools in order to assess the quality of teaching, governance and learning.
A large part of the inspection involves observation of classroom lessons and discussions with teachers.
This will be significantly affected by the industrial action, as the INTO have directed their members not to teach in front of school inspectors or to provide them with any information like lesson plans or work by pupils.
Members of the UTU will also end any co-operation with school inspections on 12 January, while members of the ATL will begin similar action on 16 January.
The NASUWT union - which is already engaged in a series of one day strikes - has not ruled out also ending co-operation with the ETI.
In October, all teaching unions in Northern Ireland rejected an offer that would have seen their pay frozen last year and a rise of 1% for 2016-17.
Education Minister Peter Weir had previously criticised the industrial action.
"I would ask teaching unions to reflect on any planned disruption, as industrial action is not in the interests of children, schools or teachers themselves," he said.
"I would urge them to go back to the negotiating table for future years and to accept that the pay offer they walked away from is not in a position to be improved upon."


Firefighters have contained wildfires in southern France which threatened the city of Marseille but remain on alert as more windy conditions are expected.

More than 1,500 firefighters tackled blazes which had sprung up in scrubland north of the city, injuring three people.
Homes were destroyed in the nearby town of Vitrolles and hundreds of residents were evacuated.
Fires have also been raging in mainland Portugal and on the island of Madeira.
Three people were killed on the holiday island and more than 1,000 were forced from their homes.
The French fires took hold on Wednesday afternoon and spread over more than 3,300 hectares (8,150 acres) of scrubland and wooded areas.
According to AFP news agency, three residents and four firefighters were injured, some seriously, in fires across the region.
The firefighters were hurt battling a blaze further west in Herault, when their vehicle was surrounded by flames.
Vitrolles, about 25km (15 miles) north of Marseille, was the town worst affected.
"Everything burned, the house, the car... there is nothing left," a resident of Vitrolles told BFM-TV.
Other towns affected included Pennes-Mirabeau, Saint-Victoret, Fos-sur-Mer and Rognac, where the main fire started.
Palls of thick smoke which rose from Vitrolles and Pennes-Mirabeau were drifting over Marseille on Wednesday.
Marseille airport, which redirected incoming flights to make way for firefighting aircraft, said the situation was gradually getting back to normal by midday on Thursday.
But it warned that some roads to the airport remained closed and advised travellers to use trains.
Marseille's Deputy Mayor, Julien Ruas, said firebreaks had been created to protect northern neighbourhoods.
Fires are frequent in summer in south-eastern France but it is rare for them to threaten urban areas.
On Madeira, the flames encroached on the capital Funchal and are blamed for the deaths of three elderly people whose homes caught light.
A fourth death was reported on the Portuguese mainland as wildfires raged in central regions.


Does dim modd i'r gwasanaeth iechyd yn ne orllewin Cymru barhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau ar yr un patrwm ac sydd wedi bodoli am 70 mlynedd.

Dyna rybudd penaethiaid iechyd sy'n dweud fod newidiadau cam-wrth-gam ddim yn ddigon bellach i ddelio gyda'r pwysau aruthrol ar wasanaethau.
Fe fydd cynlluniau i drawsnewid gofal yn y rhanbarth - cynlluniau sydd ymhlith y mwyaf uchelgeisiol erioed yng Nghymru - yn cael ei hystyried gan Lywodraeth Cymru cyn bo hir.
Mae'r cynlluniau wedi eu datblygu fel rhan o bartneriaeth "cwbl unigryw" rhwng Byrddau Iechyd Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, Hywel Dda a Phrifysgol Abertawe.
Mae'r prosiect "Arch" yn cynnwys:
Ond nid adrefnu gwasanaethau gofal yw'r unig amcan.
Yn ganolog i'r prosiect mae datblygu cyfleusterau sy'n caniatáu i unigolion fyw'n iachach a chael gofal yn nes i'w cartrefi.
Un o'r elfennau mwyaf uchelgeisiol yw adeiladu Pentref Llesiant, mewn cydweithrediad a Chyngor Sir Gar- ar hen safle diwydiannol yn Llanelli, fyddai yn cynnwys canolfan hamdden, meysydd chware a pharciau, canolfan iechyd cymunedol, canolfan adferiad a chartrefi gofal.
Fe fyddai gwesty llesiant hefyd yno gyda'r nod o ddenu twristiaid.
Mae'r cynghorydd Meryl Gravell yn un o arweinwyr y prosiect ac yn gyn arweinydd Cyngor Sir Gar.
"Fel dechreuodd e, bod gyda ni fel cyngor arian i adeiladu gwesty a hefyd canolfan hamdden...O'n i yn teimlo bod y ganolfan hamdden yn mynd i fod yn lot mwy na jest canolfan, bod pobl yn mynd yna.
"Falle bydde mam a dad neu mam-gu a thad-cu yn mynd a'u hwyrion a tra bod y plant yn nofio falle bydden nhw yn gallu profi pwyse gwaed neu bob math o bethe."
"Dyw'r gwasanaeth iechyd ddim yn cadw ni'n iach. Dyna'r broblem.
"Beth sydd eisiau i ni wneud ydy addysgu pobl i fel mae edrych ar ôl eu hiechyd a chadw yn heini a chadw yn iach a fyddwn ni yn gwario lot llai o arian i wella pobl, ar ôl iddyn nhw fynd yn glaf."
Yn ôl Cadeirydd Bwrdd Iechyd Hywel Dda, Bernardine Rees, y gobaith yw y bydd y prosiect hefyd yn hwb wrth geisio denu rhagor o feddygon a staff iechyd i weithio yng ngorllewin Cymru.
"Mae gyda ni ysgol glinigol yn Abertawe ac ysgol feddygol.
"Fe allen ni weithio gyda'n pobl ifanc i'w hannog nhw i fod eisiau cymhwyso, cael eu gradd yn Abertawe, ond gweithio yn lleol, gweithio gartref oherwydd mae gyda ni gyfle unigryw i gael model o ofal dinesig ond hefyd gwledig."
Un o brif amcanion y prosiect yw ceisio cael y gwasanaeth iechyd a chwmnïau preifat i gydweithio'n agosach.
Ac yn ôl yr Athro Marc Clement - Is Lywydd Prifysgol Abertawe - mae dylanwad y brifysgol yn allweddol wrth geisio annog hynny.
"Rwy'n credu bod rhaid cymryd cam anferth dros y gorwel fel bod ni yn delio gyda phroblemau fory nawr, ddim delio gyda phroblemau heddi gan bwyll."
"Wy'n gweld fel Cymru, un o'r pethau sydd yn nodweddiadol o fywyd Cymreig yw'r sylos ma.
"I ni ddim yn hoff iawn o gydweithredu a gweithio mewn partneriaethau. Un o'r pethau mae ARCH yn neud yw ceisio cael gwared â'r mur rhwng gwasanaethau cyhoeddus."
"Mae prifysgol gyfoes, a bydden ni yn dweud bod Abertawe yn enghraifft ardderchog o brifysgol gyfoes, yn gorfod gweithio gyda'r sector breifat, yn gorfod symud ar gyflymder mae'r gwasanaeth iechyd ddim yn gyfarwydd ag symud, yn gorfod pwyso'r risg a phwyso yn ofalus ond wedyn penderfynu a symud.
"Ac mae'r gwasanaeth iechyd ddim yn gyfforddus iawn a'r egwyddorion hynny.
"Felly mae'n bosib bod cyfraniad o ddau fwrdd iechyd a phrifysgol gyfoes, ddeinamig yn gallu gwneud rhywbeth newydd, cryf."
Ond mae'n cydnabod fod 'na densiynau ynghlwm â'r cynllun.
"Pe bai rhywun yn rhoi'r argraff i chi bod hyn yn hawdd a'r môr yn llyfn - fe fyddai hynny'n camarwain. Mae 'na drafodaethau cadarn yn digwydd y tu ôl i ddrysau caeedig.
"Ond mae'r wobr yn anferth ac mae 'na ddyletswydd arnom ni i gyflawni hyn."
Y gobaith yw y bydd y prosiect yn creu dros 2,500 o swyddi ac yn cyfrannu dros £350 i economi'r de orllewin dros gyfnod o 10 mlynedd.
Ond mae sawl elfen o'r cynllun yn ddibynnol ar Lywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi ei sêl bendith i Fargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe.
Mae disgwyl penderfyniad o fewn yr wythnosau nesaf.


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been banned from entering Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium for five years after a row with staff at an IPL cricket match.

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Vilasrao Deshmukh said the actor's behaviour had been "improper".
Khan, who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders, was involved in a scuffle with staff after Wednesday night's match.
Khan has defended his actions saying he became angry after the security "manhandled" children accompanying him.
He says he plans to report "abusive" staff to police.
Meanwhile, IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said: "The MCA can only recommend a ban, the final decision will be taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India [BCCI]."
Mr Deshmukh told a press conference after Friday's meeting in Mumbai that "Shah Rukh Khan's behaviour was not proper and against the rules".
"If rules are violated, action will be taken. It does not depend who the individual is. It's a message to everyone whosoever he or she may be that stern action will be taken if there is any misbehaviour," he said.
"The rules apply to all - no one is above them."
The MCA chief added that the actor had "shown no regrets for his action and behaviour, in fact, he justified his actions".
Mr Deshmukh said the decision to ban the actor was "a unanimous" one and would apply to "any match, whether domestic or international".
The MCA has filed a police complaint against the actor.
Khan, whose team won Wednesday night's match against the Mumbai Indians, said the stadium officials had been "very rude" to him.
"They were extremely aggressive. Some of the things they said I don't even want to repeat. And yes I got angry," he told reporters on Thursday.
The actor said he had not watched the match but gone to the stadium to pick up a group of 30 youngsters and his own children who had watched the match.
Khan is one of Bollywood's biggest stars. He has appeared in more than 70 films, anchored television shows and done innumerable advertisements.


Australia's National Archive is trying to establish how a letter flown out of Paris by balloon during the Prussian siege ended up in its collection.

The tiny letter was written by a man in the French capital in 1870 and is addressed to his mother in Normandy.
A (or 'Ch', Charles) Mesnier (or Mesmier) asks his "bonne mÃ¨re" whether she and the family are safe.
The National Archives said there was no record of how the "intriguing piece of history" arrived in Australia.
Assistant director-general Louise Doyle told the BBC the letter emerged during discussions with its French counterpart about a potential exhibition.
"We were delving into our collections to see what material connects to France, and it was extraordinary to find this intriguing piece of history."
Prussian forces besieged Paris from September 1870 until January 1871 - during the Franco-Prussian war - when the French surrendered the city.
The stamp shows the letter was posted in Paris on 7 December, in the middle of siege, and was received just over a week later by Madame Mesnier.
"We don't need any more than a note that you are in good health to reassure us," writes the man, whose age is unknown, in small, neat script.
"So far the siege has not really had an effect on the state of our health. We don't have much meat every day and when we do get some it is not very much but we can easily get by as things are and no one in our household is complaining.
"Embrace for me uncle and aunt and Maria as I embrace you with all my heart. Your devoted son."
The man also details the passion and dedication his fellow Parisians displayed in holding back the Prussians.
"We cannot succeed in all our attacks but I have the firm conviction, my good mother, that the ultimate success will be for our just cause," he writes.
The tiny letter measures only 20cm x 13cm and is labelled "par ballon monte" - for delivery by hot air balloon.
Almost two million letters were sent this way during the siege, to bypass the enemy after cables were cut under the River Seine.
The balloons often carried important people west, as well as homing pigeons which would return messages back to Paris.
Letters were delicately folded into a tiny envelope so as many as possible could fit inside the balloon.
"I find it romantic and elegant all in the same breath, and quite a beautiful the relationship this man has with mother," said Mrs Doyle.
She said it was possible the letter was bought at auction and then donated to the Queensland Telegraph Museum, but its journey was not entirely clear.
The National Archives hopes to determine whether there is a solid Australian connection with the letter, and whether any of the sender's relatives are living in Brisbane.


Wells Fargo chief executive John Stumpf will forfeit $41m (£31.5m) in bonuses as the bank tries to deal with a scandal over its sales practices.

The bank is investigating how two million accounts were opened without customers' permission.
It said Mr Stumpf, who was paid $19.3m last year, would not receive a salary during the inquiry.
The former head of retail operations, Carrie Tolstedt, will forfeit $19m of bonuses and left without a payoff.
California, meanwhile. announced it was dropping Wells Fargo as its bond underwriter and broker-dealer because of the scandal.
The US state's sanctions against the bank will take effect immediately and remain in place for a year, said its officials.
"Wells Fargo's fleecing of its customers by opening fraudulent accounts for the purpose of extracting millions in illegal fees demonstrates, at best, a reckless lack of institutional control and, at worst, a culture which actively promotes wanton greed," said California treasurer John Chiang.
The announcement comes ahead of Mr Stump's appearance before the House Financial Services Committee, scheduled for Thursday.
He is expected to face another tough questioning similar to his appearance before the Senate Banking Committee last week.
The bank said forfeiting bonuses and payoff did not mean there might not be more salary clawbacks from Mr Stumpf or Ms Tolstedt, depending on the results of the investigation.
"We will proceed with a sense of urgency but will take the time we need to conduct a thorough investigation," Stephen Sanger, Wells Fargo's lead independent director, said in a statement.
Earlier this month, Wells Fargo was fined $185m and accused of "widespread illegal practice" by the regulators.
Wells Fargo has fired more than 5,000 staff in response to the scandal. Mr Stumpf has so far ignored calls for him to step down.
During the hearing by a panel of US senators on 20 September, Mr Stumpf said he was "deeply sorry" for that and failing to act quickly.
"There is no question with some of our customers we violated trust," he said. "We never directed nor wanted our team members to provide products and services to our customers that they didn't want.
"That said, I accept full responsibility for all unethical sales practices," he added.
During the questioning, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has long been a critic of the US banking industry, was unmoved by his apology.
"You squeezed your employees to the breaking point so they would cheat customers,'' she said.
"You should resign. You should give back the money you took while the scam was going on," she added.
Wells Fargo said it would be contacting every deposit customer across the country to see if their accounts were properly authorised.
It will also contact hundreds of thousands of customers with open credit cards to see if they want or need those cards.
In the future, confirmation emails will be sent to customers within one hour of the opening of a new deposit account.
The fine imposed on the bank by the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was the largest ever imposed by the regulator.


The department of agriculture in Northern Ireland has suspended a general licence for the importation of poultry products and live birds from Britain after an outbreak of avian flu.

Those wishing to bring poultry products or live birds into Northern Ireland must now apply for a specific licence.
The precautionary measure was announced after avian flu was confirmed on an egg production farm in Lancashire.
The H7N7 strain of the disease has been found on the farm.
It can infect humans but has only rarely caused severe illness.
Public Health England has said the risk to human health is very low.
The Food Standards Agency has said there is no food safety risk.
Restrictions have been put in place around the farm and the birds are being humanely slaughtered.
The agriculture minister Michelle O'Neill said her staff had been in contact with the Northern Ireland poultry industry to advise them of the situation and call for increased vigilance.
"While the situation will be kept under review, I would encourage bird-keepers, as a precaution, to revisit their own biosecurity," she said.
Northern Ireland's chief vet Robert Huey said he had been liaising with his counterparts in England and his officials would assess the risk to establish whether other measures might be needed.
"We have informed our counterparts in the south [Republic of Ireland] of the situation and will continue to work closely with them to ensure that we apply consistent and proportionate measures to protect the island of Ireland," he said.


An international money launderer and fraudster is believed to have fled the UK with his family, police have said.

Peter Gifford, 49, was convicted in his absence at Truro Crown Court of conspiring to launder $500,000 (Â£320,000) and sentenced to six years.
Gifford, of Budock, Falmouth and partner Penelope Lawton, 52, were previously convicted of mortgage fraud and sentenced to three years in jail.
Police said Gifford and Lawton were last seen travelling to France.
They are believed to be on the run with two teenage children and a European Arrest Warrant has been issued.
Police said the couple are understood to have left the UK just before a separate fraud trial in January and were last seen going on the Eurotunnel heading to France.
The couple were found guilty of three counts of fraud in their absence in January and sentenced to three years for each charge, to run concurrently.
In a series of frauds between 2002 and 2007 they made false declarations on mortgage applications to obtain Â£609,250.
The investigation into Gifford began when police were alerted to banking irregularities in his accounts and seized his computer in April 2011.
Police said Gifford had received $500,000 from an account in the US.
Officers traced the money back to a fraudulent investment scheme in Germany.
Police said he spent the money quickly on items including a new Range Rover and a luxury holiday to the US.
Investigators from Devon and Cornwall Police worked with the FBI and police in Germany during the five-year investigation.
Gifford was found guilty of money laundering in his absence on Thursday and sentenced on Friday.


DR Congo and Norwich striker Dieumerci Mbokani has quit internationals after his country's FA threatened to ban him for missing two Afcon qualifiers.

Mbokani missed the games with Angola after being caught up in the Brussels airport attacks on his way to Kinshasa.
The 30-year-old told BBC Sport: "I was traumatised. I have no idea why they would want to suspend me.
"The Congolese FA president said 'since when do people from DR Congo get traumatised?' That's shameful."
The attacks at the airport and a metro station on 22 March left 32 people dead.
"You can't imagine a terrorist attack like that. It's the first time I've been through something like this," added the striker, who is on loan at Premier League side Norwich from Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev
"I gave my reasons for not being able to go - because of the terrorist attack.
"After that the federation told the press in Congo that was false, that I had to go. But I said I couldn't go and that's why they've created problems for me.
"The president of the federation told the press I would be suspended. That's what the problem is.
"I asked my club Norwich City if I could stay for a few days with my family and they accepted straight away. They know very well that I only just escaped being killed. That's why I wanted to stay with my family.
"The football federation in DR Congo think I'm lying, that I'm not telling the truth. That's why I'm going to stop playing for the national team."
Congolese FA president Constant Omari has questioned why Mbokani did not travel when his compatriot Cedric Bakambu, who was also at Brussels airport, did make it to Kinshasa.
He told French radio: "It's true there were problems at the airport, but Bakambu was on the same plane and had to leave Brussels.
"But he caught an alternate plane from Charleroi and did everything to come here (to Kinshasa). We called Mbokani and told him of the new arrangements being made but he turned us down."
Omari said Mbokani, as a senior member of the squad, should set an example to the rest of the team.
"Do you think we need him again for the national team? I'd prefer to lose but with disciplined players," he added.
Omari's comments are likely to do little to help resolve the situation, given Mbokani appears unwilling to play again for DR Congo even if he receives an apology from the federation.
"No, I've taken my decision, I don't think I will change my mind, I think it's the best moment to stop playing for the national team," Mbokani said.
"I'm still a bit traumatised by what happened but Norwich have been really helpful, so have my team-mates - they have really helped during a difficult time. So for the time being I feel fine."
