12 lives lost in 1987 atrocity

- DAVID YOUNG

TAOISEACH Micheal Martin laid a wreath yesterday at a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Enniskillen, 35 years on from an IRA bomb at the event.

Hundreds gathered at the war memorial in the Co Fermanagh town to mark the occasion.

They stood in silence for two minutes before wreaths were laid.

Mr Martin was continuing a tradition begun by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny in 2012 by attending and placing a laurel wreath at the base of the memorial.

The North's Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris also attended and laid a poppy wreath on behalf of the UK Government.

Earlier this week, events took place in Enniskillen to mark the exact day of the Poppy Day bomb, including a service at a newly installed plaque to the victims.
