A house in the Chapel View area of Crossmaglen has been vandalised with spray paint stating 'No Sale. IRA.'. Authorities view the act as an effort to deter potential buyers.

Newry and Armagh Sinn Féin MLA Aoife Finnegan condemned the vandalism. She stated that such intimidation against prospective buyers will not be accepted. Finnegan described the actions as an assault on families and their right to live without fear. She affirmed that the Chapel View community remains resilient against such efforts and will collaborate with agencies to maintain safety.

The incident follows ongoing sewerage problems in Chapel View. Residents have reported blocked manholes, unusable household sanitation and sewage on private property since March 10. Finnegan wrote to NI Water and the Department for Infrastructure about the issues.

Finnegan noted the absence of a required pumping station at the development. She requested an immediate reply from NI Water regarding the failure to provide essential services.
