I will, Mr Deputy Speaker. I welcome the Bill. It is absolutely right that, in this democracy, any girl who wants to wear a pair of trousers to school in Northern Ireland can do so. Many people found out recently that I have a master's degree in human rights law, but I rarely quote the council of this, the declaration…
I am somewhat alarmed: this morning, I was a DUP lackey, and now I have been banded into Sinn Féin's progressive alliance. I am not sure which I prefer, but I will move on to the detail of the Bill.
That is a good point. It is despicable that people do that for entertainment, but there can be some nuances. An incident could be unfolding, and people could be giving first aid or intervening, but the fact that somebody has recorded it and can give the footage to the police can be useful. However, it should never be…
I agree. I rang one of the victims on the evening after the conviction and apologised. Even though I had no role over Mr Campbell, I said that I was ashamed that that man, Lloyd-Lavery, was ever employed by the party or by an MLA and ashamed that the man who gave him a character reference was a former chair of our…

Pre-conviction references in what would be classed almost as clandestine crimes — crimes that are committed out of public sight — are practically valueless because what the public or your work colleagues see is entirely different from how you behave at home or online. Therefore, they have really…
I welcome the Bill. It is long overdue, because our justice system in Northern Ireland is tilted towards the interests of suspects and perpetrators over and above the interests of victims and the general public. I hope that the Bill will go some way to recalibrating and reorienting our justice system back to being…
