Councillor: Trust can help resolve stand-off over memorial to Enniskillen atrocity
It is sad that there is a lack of accommodation for the placement of the memorial on the site where this atrocity of innocent civilians took place.
There is a need for a genuine recognition that the actions of SF/IRA were not only a desecration of property belonging to the St Michael’s Parish — the Reading Rooms —but also one of the single worst atrocities in the history of the ‘Troubles’.

I call on St Michael’s Diocesan Trust to make that symbolic step and resolve this matter so that this sacred site may provide healing and comfort.
