A man has appeared in court after a number of people were injured when protesters disrupted a political conference in Enniskillen on Sunday.

Daniel Comerforde, from Mic Uilliam Heights in Dublin, is accused of having a hammer as an offensive weapon and causing criminal damage to a glass door at the Lough Erne Resort.

He was also charged with attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and affray.

A National Party of Ireland event had been taking place at the resort.

The 34-year-old man appeared at Omagh Magistrates' Court by video link on Tuesday.

He confirmed that he understood the charges and was remanded in custody.

A defence solicitor indicated he would be making an application for bail at Dungannon Court on Friday.
