Enniskillen bomb memorial welcomed

Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:

“I warmly welcome the fact that the memorial to those murdered in the Poppy Day Massacre has finally been erected on the site of the IRA bombing.

“The families are to be commended for their tenacity and determination that their loved ones were commemorated in a suitable fashion. It is a sad reflection on the current state of Northern Ireland that those who suffered so much were left to do the work to ensure the memorial was in place. I am pleased that TUV was able to provide some small assistance to them.

“What happened in Enniskillen was a particularly appalling example of IRA terrorism which even by the depraved standards of the Republican movement stands out in its barbarity. Yet, she who aspires to be First Minister shamefully says there was ‘No alternative’! 

“Those brutally murdered deserve to be remembered by all those who pass the site of the bombing. The families are to be congratulated in finally ensuring that this is possible. Well done.”
