Fermanagh councillor writes letter to Westminster in campaign to have G8 table from 2013 returned

A Co Fermanagh councillor has written to the UK government in a bid to have a table that was used at the G8 summit held there in 2013 to be returned.

The locally made wooden table was built ahead of the conference attended by world leaders at the Lough Erne Resort. Former US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron and Russian leader Vladimir Putin were all in attendance.

However, Erne East Sinn Féin councillor Sheamus Greene said the area was promised benefits in terms of legacy projects following the summit, which never materialised. Following last week’s meeting of the now G7 leaders in Germany, Cllr Greene reiterated his desire for the table to be returned.
