ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland (Reuters) - Around 1,000 activists marched towards the venue of a Group of Eight summit in Northern Ireland on Monday to demand world leaders end global hunger, boost gay rights and ban fracking.

Environmentalists, socialists and rights activists gathered in the small market town of Enniskillen before setting off to the golf resort 10 km (7 miles) away that is hosting the leaders, including U.S. President Barack Obama.
