From the health service to reopening the local canal, here's what matters to voters in Newry and Armagh in the upcoming election
With just days to go until Northern Ireland goes to the polls as part of the UK General Election on 4 July, we are continuing our tour of the constituencies as part of the 5000 Voices project.
Among the issues of concern for voters in the constituency was the state of the health services and more locally, Daisy Hill Hospital. Earlier this year, the decision was taken to end emergency general surgery at the hospital and move it to Craigavon. Another voter recalled how he recently had to pay to go private for a basic procedure because he couldn't get an appointment with the health service.
"I have no problem with Daisy Hill. The only thing is that they are trying to take it away from us," he said. "I see the reopening of the Ulster Canal and they have reopened the Ballyconnel Canal from the Shannon, so I think it would be really great to see that and it would be a really great tourist attraction, bring new life into Newry and all the villages and towns up to Portadown."One gentleman told us: "he is not a bad lad. He is doing his best."
While another said: "as a Prime Minister, he picked up a hot coal. It was bouncing around for quite a few years. I think the Conservative Party have probably run their course in leading the UK and probably it is going to be a sign of change."
