There's condemnation after what's being called a republican poster was placed on Enniskillen war memorial on Wednesday night.

It came ahead of Thursday's acts of remembrance and on the week of the 34th anniversary of the Poppy day bombing in the town.

Last night, local MLA Deborah Erskine took to social media to hit out at those responsible.

She said, "Disgraceful that a republican poster was placed on Enniskillen war memorial tonight.

"For an organisation to erect these posters ahead of the acts of remembrance takes a special kind of twisted nature.

"They should front up and explain their need to be so insensitive and offensive.

Thanks to quick actions tonight this poster has now been removed. However, several have been placed across Enniskillen tonight. Police are aware. 

Mrs Erskine has told Q Radio the offensive poster, one of several put up across Enniskillen, has now been taken down:
