Never been 'lost from the consciousness' of the Island
The chief minister says 'for the first time' he's been able to fully understand the 'enormity' of the grief that followed the Summerland fire.
This week Alfred Cannan issued an apology in Tynwald for the failings which lead to the blaze almost 50 years ago.
He told the court he hoped it would go some way to addressing the 'suffering caused by the wrongs of the past'.
The statement has been welcomed by campaigners who say they will continue to try and overturn a 'death by misadventure' verdict after the deaths of 50 people.
Mr Cannan says he understands not everyone will want to speak about the tragedy even now:
Palatine GP changes booking system
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
"Clowngate": MHKs start 2026 with a war of words
Island has to 'plan for things we hope will never happen'
