Increased Police Presence In NI Following Manchester Attack
There will be an increased police presence in Northern Ireland following the terror attack in Manchester, PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton has confirmed.
However, he said that the military deployment announced by Prime Minister Theresa May as part of Operation Temperer "will not apply" in NI.
The terrorist attack at Manchester Arena claimed the lives of 22 people, including children, and injured over 100.
Mr Hamilton said: "It has been well documented that the current threat level from violent dissident republicans across Northern Ireland is 'severe'. This remains the case.
"Events in Manchester are at the forefronts of all our minds. We send our thoughts and our sympathy to those who have lost loved ones and to the injured. We also send our support to the people of Manchester and to the police officers and staff at Greater Manchester Police.
"The PSNI will continue to do all we can operationally to keep people safe , however, I would ask the public, as always, to remain vigilant and alert to any suspicious activity and report anything untoward to police."
