Two weeks after the killings, Margaret Thatcher attended another ceremony in Enniskillen.
After even Gadaffi in Lybia had ceased his support for the IRA - and Sinn Fein (the IRA's political wing) later lost a lot of seats/votes.
The only good thing that came out of this atrocity was the speeding up of the peace process - strongly helped by Major, Blair and many more.
Quite apart from the Tory £1 billion gift to the DUP - a similar figure is given to Northern Ireland (by the UK Exchequer) to pay its bills. EVERY MONTH!

On the 8th November 1987, a bomb was detonated at the Remembrance Ceremony at Enniskillen's Cenotaph.
Eleven were killed and over 60 badly injured; later a twelfth person died. The IRA planted/detonated the bomb.
The IRA didn't know, or care, who they'd kill - Protestants, Catholics and/or their own. Nobody was ever charged.
