FERMANAGH farmers have begun to receive their Direct Payments, with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) confirming almost £260 million had been paid out on the first day of the 2024 scheme.

THE LOUGH was the place to be last Saturday, when summer finally made a brief visit to Fermanagh, with both locals and visitors taking to the water. This led to the triple call-out for the Carrybridge lifeboat, the Douglas, Euan and Kay Richards, and its crew.

A FERMANAGH councillor who was left fighting for his life earlier this summer has urged others to be aware of the symptoms of meningitis.

A PIONEERING priest from Fermanagh who is renowned for his work in the area of peace, reconciliation, and development, is to take up a new role in his home diocese.

History will be made in Enniskillen this weekend when the town plays host to Fermanagh’s first ever Pride parade.

A PROPOSAL to designate Enniskillen and Lisnaskea as ‘holiday resorts’, which would allow large stores to open for longer on Sundays, has been rejected by Council officials.

Speaking to Fermanagh elected representatives, the Health Minister has said he expects to make the announcement "in the coming days."

A place has been secured with the Dogs Trust for the dogs found in Fermanagh.

LOCAL health campaigners have warned the patients of Fermanagh are facing “the most dramatic winter for healthcare” this year, with moves elsewhere in the health service expected to put even more pressure on our already-struggling system.

ENNISKILLEN RNLI, the Irish Coast Guard helicopter, and the NI Ambulance Service were all involved in the rescue of two jet skiers who were injured on Lough Erne at the weekend.
