A woman who lost both parents in the 1987 Enniskillen bombing wants to challenge Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn “eyeball to eyeball” over his close links with Sinn Fein.

William and Agnes Mullan were one of three sets of parents who were killed when the IRA detonated a no-warning bomb during a Remembrance service at the town’s cenotaph.

Speaking as the new Labour leader reached the milestone of 100 days in the post on Monday, Margaret Veitch said that for Mr Corbyn, and his shadow chancellor John McDonnell, to “condone” terrorism was retraumatising victims.

At a meeting in 1987 Mr Corbyn reportedly stood in honour of the eight-man IRA gang shot dead by the SAS as they attacked Loughgall RUC station in Co Armagh.

Mrs Veitch said: “As a victim I am absolutely devastated by what the UK Labour Party is doing. How can my fellow British citizens support a party which is led by Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell?”

She added: “SF/IRA don’t officially take their seats at Westminster but in these two men and others they have quasi representation through supporters of their terrorism being in high office.
