The daubing of IRA graffiti close to a memorial to Enniskillen bomb victims has been condemned.
Eleven people who had gathered for a remembrance event in the Co Fermanagh town were killed in the IRA blast in 1987 while dozens were injured.
A 12th victim died 13 years later having never woken from a coma.
DUP MLA Deborah Erskine said the spraying of graffiti on the wall of the Clinton Centre, close to the memorial, was a “despicable act”.
“Those responsible should be ashamed for trying to whip up public tensions,” she said.
“The IRA was a terrorist organisation who killed and murdered scores of people. They do not deserve any public show of support.”
Ms Erskine said she reported the incident to police.
“No doubt this incident will upset Enniskillen bomb families,” she said.
“This graffiti is very close to the memorial that Enniskillen bomb families placed in remembrance of their loved ones.
“A few short weeks ago I joined with those families in a dignified remembrance event on the 8th November.
“The respect of those families is in sharp contrast to those that carried out this disgusting graffiti incident, in such a public way.”
Councillor Keith Elliott added: “I am shocked to see this graffiti on a public building, which is close to a memorial to 12 innocent people killed by the IRA.
“There was no justification for IRA terrorism in Enniskillen or anywhere else.
“I ask anyone to come forward with information they may have on this incident to the PSNI.”
