SF chair's remarks on Poppy Day bomb cause disharmony and trauma
His refusal to show any sort of empathy with the victims of violence and the Remembrance Day bombing in Enniskillen almost 30 years ago certainly struck a raw nerve with many of us and his reported comments that we should as it were move on from the past is in stark contrast to that of Sinn Fein who continue highlighting specific and not so past events such as ‘Bloody Sunday’ , and events that took place in Ballymurphy and Loughgall to name but just a few.
These instances are kept very much to the fore by Sinn Fein with millions of pounds demanded for inquiries not to mention their demand for former members of the security forces being brought before the courts.

Hide AdAs an Erne North Councillor, an area which witnessed many terrible tragedies and murder as well as the planned attempted murders in Tullyhommon of innocent children and adults in 1987, I totally disassociate myself from Councillor McCann’s remarks.
Instead of sowing seeds of goodwill and being a positive ambassador for the region for ALL our people, his comments have done nothing among many but to reap further disharmony, mistrust and bring trauma memories to many minds, a fact which is to be deeply regretted as people strive to live at peace with their neighbour across the divide.
