One week on from the Eleventh Night bonfire which damaged an apartment block in south Belfast and the residents are still trying to find out who will pay for repairs and if the same problem will happen again next year.
People living in the Victoria Place building have been through a difficult ordeal which is still dragging on.
While revellers were enjoying the spectacle of a towering bonfire burning ferociously in Sandy Row, the residents were forced to endure a terrifying night as the intense heat cracked windows and melted door seals, with only the determined efforts of the fire service preventing the flames spreading to the building.
All this would have been traumatic enough but this year tower block residents were also acutely aware of the Grenfell Tower disaster and the dreadful loss of life suffered by people trapped in the high rise flats.
At the very least, Victoria Place residents deserve the full support of local politicians as they deal with the issues raised by the bonfire, in particular who will foot the bill for the damage with government and statutory agencies seemingly unwilling to step in.
It has been suggested that the building's insurance will pay for repairs but only if the authorities provide recompense at a later date.
A meeting of various agencies and the residents will be held tonight and it is vital local politicians are fully engaged in this process and clearly some are.
What is causing concern, however, is the attitude of DUP representatives, in particular Christopher Stalford MLA who has a constituency office just yards from the apartments.
In a BBC interview on Monday he admitted he had not managed to meet with any residents.
If that was not bad enough, he could not even bring himself to accept that the bonfire was too close to the flats.
If Mr Stalford cannot see that a fire fierce enough to crack windows is a bit too close then it is little wonder the residents despair.
