The Ulster Unionist Party’s Newry & Armagh MLA Danny Kennedy speaking at the time expressed his disappointment at the news and fears it could be damaging to the area.
“The closure of the Northern Bank’s Markethill sub-office would have a very profound and serious impact on the town and the local business community,” he said.
Today’s announcement however, is some good news for the town.
