Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

That is another matter. It is their choice. Discussions are in progress involving Sinn Fein—perhaps along with others—and the Government, on issues such as Community Restorative Justice. I know that the Minister sought to give some assurances about that last week, but what is the reality? A constituent of mine told me recently, ““A man from CRJ came to my house, but when he said who he was, it brought three other initials to mind, and only the middle one—the R—was the same.”” She was very clear about that. Another constituent was apparently approached by someone supposedly representing Community Restorative Justice and told, ““If you go to the police about this, you may have to leave the country.”” The Government are laying down provisions relating to abnormal arrangements in the courts, supposedly to deal with intimidation but they appear ready to license and engage with the very people who are behind intimidation connected with criminal activity, which is about creating an ulterior policing arrangement outside the formal and proper policing structures.
