38 years ago today, the IRA murdered 12 people ( 11 that day and 1 who died later) and injured 68 in Enniskillen. Innocent people who had gathered in peace to honour the fallen.
There was no justification. It was evil, carried out by evil people.
We remember them.

The same people angry about today’s judgement and even this post from Gavin Robinson are the same people who back SF representatives attending IRA memorials and defending murder. The level of hypocrisy is staggering. They only want justice when it suits their political narrative.
