Ronnie Hill, injured in the Enniskillen Poppy Day bombing, is stretchered away. He died after 13 years in a coma TREVOR MCBRIDEThe Catholic Church has rejected plans to build on its land a memorial to victims of the IRA’s Poppy Day bombing in Northern Ireland. The size and scale posed “insurmountable” access problems, a diocesan trust in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, said. A bomb exploded at the town’s war memorial in November 1987, killing 11. An alternative monument is due to be completed in a year but victims said they were “distraught” at the church’s decision.
