A U-turn on the decision to close Armagh courthouse has been welcomed.
It was among six earmarked for closure across the province.
Justice Minister Claire Sugden halted plans after considering community and expert objections.
Newry and Armagh MLA Cathal Boylan says he's "glad common sense has prevailed".
He added, "... the needs of the people of the area are now being valued more than the tiny amount of savings that would be made closing the courthouse."
