Armstrong condemns the taunting of mourners at a Remembrance service in Enniskillen

Ulster Unionist Diana Armstrong for Fermanagh and South Tyrone has condemned the taunting of mourners.

Ms Armstrong said “I was disgusted and horrified that individuals felt it appropriate to taunt mourners by shouting “Up the Ra” at a dignified and emotional service of remembrance, to mark the 37th Anniversary of the Enniskillen Poppy Day Bomb.

“A generation in Northern Ireland have been failed by a lack of leadership from aspects of the nationalist community, in particular when Sinn Fein won’t ‘condemn’ the actions of the past, say these actions were ‘justified’ and that there was ‘no alternative’ to the terrorist campaign.”

“For some, peace and reconciliation are just words.”
