Remembrance Day ceremonies in the Co Fermanagh town will also mark the 33rd anniversary of the Enniskillen bombing in 1987.

Twelve people died and 63 people were injured in that blast, which was carried out by the Provisional IRA.

The Taoiseach will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Enniskillen before attending a Remembrance Service at the Church of Ireland Saint Macartin’s Cathedral.

A statement issued by the Government Press Office said: “An Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, will take part in the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies which take place in Enniskillen on 8th November.

“An Taoiseach will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Enniskillen before attending a Remembrance Service in Saint Macartin's Cathedral.”

The Government has been represented at this event since 2012.

It will be Mr Martin’s first time attending the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Enniskillen.

The Taoiseach's program this year will be shorter than previous years due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Locals of the town have been asked to stay away because of the restrictions and the service will be live-streamed on www.enniskillencathedral.com from 10.45am.
