Former US President Bill Clinton is to be the special guest at next month's official opening of a centre built on the site of one of Northern Ireland's worst atrocities.

Mr Clinton will be at the dedication of the Clinton Centre in Enniskillen by First Minister David Trimble and Deputy First Minister Mark Durkan on June 5.

During the visit, he will be shown around the peace centre, built on the bridge close to the scene of the Poppy Day bombing which killed 11 people on Remembrance Sunday 1987.

Mr Clinton visited the Co Fermanagh town last year - his first visit to Northern Ireland since leaving the White House. After visiting Enniskillen, Mr Clinton will travel to Dublin, where he will talk to a number of business people about the financing of the Clinton Library in Arkansas.

Next day he will play a round of golf with business leaders before receiving an International Achievement Award for his role in the peace process. The following morning he will meet Taoiseach Bertie Ahern before he leaves.
