The supporters, two winged deer have golden rings, resembling torcs, about their necks from which hang a black fleur-de-lys and a white eight-pointed star. These are taken from the arms of the former [[Tyrone (county)|Tyrone County Council]], and record that two small areas of Tyrone, around Fivemiletown and Irvinestown, were added to the historic County of Fermanagh to form the new District. | |||
