Sinn Fein councillor for Mid Tyrone Sharon O'Brien has written to NIE to highlight her concern at recent blackouts of a large area of Mid Tyrone. She has also said she expects full and frank explanations why NIE costumers were left without electricity last week.

Sinn Fein councillor Sharon O'Brien has slammed the decision to close almost 100 post offices throughout the north of Ireland . 42 branches will close completely without some form of service being provided whilst 54 branches will have an 'outreach service'. Tyrone is one of the areas affected worse by the closures.
