Despite the numerous strategies and policies, many of which were mentioned in the question, our criminal justice system has seen little improvement in15 years. Those are not my words but those of Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland. My question to the First Minister and the deputy First Minister is this: as the leaders of our Executive, what will they do to sort this out? It is clear...
1. Mr Beattie asked the Minister of Finance why funding within the Department of Justice budget allocation for PSNI recruitment was not ring-fenced, similar to funding within the Department of Health budget for waiting lists. (AQO 2153/22-27)
Thank you, Minister, for your answer. We know that Health was in a desperate position, so you ring-fenced money for waiting lists. The PSNI is in a desperate position, and I welcome the £5 million that you have given to it for the riots, but will you take proactive steps to fund the PSNI properly in the absence of the Justice Minister having it as a priority?
