Unionists don’t want to share power

ONE can only wonder on what basis Barry Walsh (Irish Examiner letters, August 17) believes that unionists in the North will respond positively to IRA decommissioning.

All the evidence since the signing of the Belfast agreement points to a continuation of the suspended assembly. Mr Walsh says that “for trust to emerge from a conflict situation, it is necessary that both sides recognise and come to terms with the wrongs they have committed.”

I believe republicans have come to terms with their wrongs, but I do not believe there is unionist reciprocation.
