Enniskillen: Report of sectarian chants at Poppy Day memorial

The Fermanagh South Tyrone MLA said the families and mourners gathered at the cenotaph were affected.

“Families of the victims had to pick up the pieces after a very emotional day, where emotions remained raw.

“People need to know what the chant actually means and the context behind it.”

Deborah Erskine, DUP MLA, was also at the event and told BBC News NI sectarian slogans are used too often.

“The phrase is so commonplace with nationalists and republicans, shouted without any regard for how victims may feel,” she said.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they received a report of sectarian comments shouted while people attended the event in Belmore Street.

“Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact police,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
