File: A G8 Not Welcome protestor on 15 June Laura Hutton/Photocall Ireland

Outer fence line near G8 venue breached following protest

A G8 Not Welcome march took place this evening at 6pm. At 9pm, an outer fence line was breached.

THE PSNI SAID that an outer fence line a “significant distance” from the secure perimeter around the G8 venue was breached this evening.

A G8 Not Welcome march took place in Enniskillen this evening, with approximately 700 protesters travelling to the outer fence line of the summit location from 6pm.

Following speeches, they went a short distance back towards Enniskillen where they left in buses.

Police facilitated the march and said it passed off successfully.

Shortly after 9pm, a number of people breached an outer fence line and moved a short distance past it, “however there were no incidents and they have now left the area”, said the PSNI.

They added that this incident occurred a “significant distance” from the secure perimeter and fence line around the G8 venue, which remained “unbreached”.

There were no arrests.

    No suprises there, Will Smith is nothing short of nauseating these days, it must have something to do with Scientology cos the guy just isn’t funny anymore and the rest of his family seem to have a permanent glaze over their faces as well. I find it strange that people still like them even though they’re members of such a weird cult.

    I suppose it’s pretty easy to breach a fence near the G8.

    Must be a slow day for you too if you’re reading articles you don’t want to read and you thought you’d pass the time by going for a quick troll.
