A MAKESHIFT memorial to IRA man Seamus McElwain must be removed by the district council, an Ulster Unionist MP has said.
The poster of McElwain, who was killed by the SAS in 1986, was put up above a plaque to hunger striker Bobby Sands in Roslea, Co Fermanagh before last week's assembly elections.
The poster and a tricolour were added days after an event more to commemorate McElwain, who is suspected of attempting to kill First Minister Arlene Foster's late father, RUC officer John Kelly.
Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott said one of his party colleagues had contacted Fermanagh and Omagh District Council last week to express their concerns, but as far as he was aware the poster had not been removed.
"The council said they are looking into it," he said. "But the wall (on which the poster has been placed) was built using EU money filtered down to the council. There is a significant onus on the council to remove it."
Mr Elliott raised concerns that the poster would cause community tensions.
"We have seen previous attempts to stir up immense feelings of hurt and anger on this particular wall as republicans erected a plaque honouring IRA man Bobby Sands," he said.
"It is an extremely sad situation for Fermanagh when public money is used in such a way as to facilitate terrorists who brought death and destruction to the community."
A similar row broke out in Co Tyrone in 2014 when a poster commemorating UVF man Wesley Somerville, killed by the bomb he planted on a tour bus carrying the Miami Showband in 1975, was put up on a lamppost in Moygashel outside Dungannon.
