Graffiti was sprayed on the wall of the Clinton Centre in Enniskillen

A man has been charged by police investigating a hate crime involved the painting of republican graffiti on a wall in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.

The 52 year old has been charged with four counts of criminal damage, displaying written material to stir up hatred or arouse fear and possession of class B drugs.

The letters IRA were painted on a wall of the Clinton Centre on Sunday.

He is expected to appear at Enniskillen Magistrates Court on 18 December.

The centre was built on the site of an IRA bomb attack in the County Fermanagh town.

Twelve people were killed after a bomb exploded at the town's cenotaph on 8 November 1987, during a Remembrance Sunday ceremony.

Eleven of those died in the blast. A twelfth victim, Ronnie Hill, died 13 years later.

A memorial to the victims is located on an adjoining wall of the Clinton Centre.
