AROUND 700 attended a march from the Library in Enniskillen to the fence of the G8 summit venue this evening (Monday).

It was organised by Fermanagh G8 Not Welcome, and a variety of groups and individuals took part, including those opposing Fracking.

There had been fears that the summit could attract violence, however, this was not the case.
