Enniskillen memorial - The powerful role symbols can play

A new memorial to the victims of the Enniskillen bombing is to be unveiled on Sunday at a ceremony to mark the 30th anniversary of the IRA attack in which 11 people were slaughtered.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will be there and is expected to sport the Shamrock poppy that he displayed in the Dáil this week, to the bemusement of some of his colleagues.

His predecessor, Enda Kenny, broke new ground in 2012 by first attending a Remembrance Sunday service at Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh. He did so for the following four years, but never wore a poppy.
