The closed road in Kinawley over security alert earlier on Tuesday

THE PSNI say a security alert in Co Fermanagh has ended.

Police say that following an examination by Army technical officers, a suspect object was declared a hoax.

The Stragowna Road which runs from Kinawley to the Derrylin Road has now re-opened and evacuated residents have been allowed to return to their homes.

The alert comes less than four weeks before the G8 summit is due to be held in Co Fermanagh.
