The world’s most powerful leaders will descend on Fermanagh on 17 and 18 June next year.
DURING HIS VISIT to Northern Ireland today, David Cameron announced that he will host the two-day G8 summit in Enniskillen next year.
The Prime Minister confirmed earlier reports that the group will meet over two days – the 17 and 18 June – in the Fermanagh town.
The main venue will be the luxury Lough Erne golf resort. It will accommodate the leaders of eight of the world’s richest countries, including US President Barack Obama, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Breakfast recommendations:
Those chancing their arm:
