A dramatic week by any standards.
Ken Reid: Thursday, 17 June 2010
David Cameron's statement in the House of Commons stands out as one of the most remarkable moments in Irish political history.
It was an occasion which will stand out for its intensity, probably not reflected in the television pictures.
Now, of course, we are into the fall-out.
The Bloody Sunday families have acted with great dignity and the way the protestant church leaders were welcomed has been encouraging.
But the downside is that other old sores have been re-opened.
Shaun Woodward believes there is a real problem festering.
He wants the Eames-Bradley report revisited but as David Cameron revealed in the Commons, the new government is not keen.
The Secretary of State Owen Patterson and the Stormont executive will know the problem needs tackled.
The Victims Commission is in place but there is still no long term strategy.
The political pressure is growing and is not going away.
Expect some pretty powerful arguments over coming days.
A truth commission or something else?
Many victims need to know.
