Thanks to the Ulster Unionists and Basil Johnston for a response to my questions. Here we go: 1. Recently there has been a direct Sinn Fein co-option to Fermanagh Council.

The latest unpleasant twist in terrorist activity has occurred in South Fermanagh. This time a Rocket Propelled Grenade was fired at a police foot patrol in Lisnaksea's main street. I know it is a recurrent theme of mine, but I do suggest that violence restarting is inevitable. The hatreds in the likes of South Fermanagh have not gone away.
