The PSNI is investigating a suspicious object discovered near a Co Fermanagh primary school.

Police officers received a call alerting them to the object this afternoon.

They have asked the public to avoid the Dernawilt Road area of Donagh village and the vicinity of St Joseph’s primary school.

“If anyone sees anything suspicious in this area they are not to approach or handle it but to contact police in Enniskillen,”a PSNI spokeswoman said.
