Video: Explosion at suspected illegal distillery in Ardboe
An explosion has been reported at a suspected illegal distillery in Ardboe, thought to be linked to the local parish priest.
It is the latest in a series of incidents which has sent shockwaves across the sleepy lough shore community.
Earlier this year, Fr McCartan was arrested in connection with a robbery on the local credit union.

Around 40 Parishioners from across Ardboe and Moortown have vowed to spend a night at Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast, and each raise £2,000 sponsorship, to go towards replacing the roof on Ardboe church, along with other repairs.
