Six Catholic members of a District Policing Partnership who received death threats from dissident republicans have refused to resign.
Ms Dolores Kelly, the SDLP vice chairman of Craigavon DPP, said that she and her fellow members were staying put. "Two of the individuals are party colleagues and they certainly have no intention of resigning.
"The other independent members are very strong people and they won't be letting threats like this deter them from their work."
Last year, all members of the partnership received a police message that they were being targeted, but the latest threats are the first specifically against Catholic members.
It is the third time that Ms Kelly has been threatened since she was re-elected to Craigavon Borough Council in last November's Assembly poll.
The threats are the latest in a campaign of intimidation against mainly Catholic members of DPPs across Northern Ireland.
Earlier this week, SDLP chairman of Strabane DPP Mr Tom McBride received a letter bomb in the post. He too, has refused to resign.
