Stewart Dickson MLA said: “This is a deeply worrying incident and this is a very sinister discovery. I want to take this opportunity to praise police on their work in finding this bomb.
“This excellent police work has prevented a potentially devastating bomb attack, and the police deserve our gratitude for the difficult work they carry out.
“Those involved in activity of this nature must realise that they will not destabilise the progress we have made in building peace because society is, and will continue to be, determined to deliver a brighter future in Northern Ireland.”
