Those are all good things, and we welcome them. We will support the Minister when he does positive things. However, there are areas in my constituency where it feels as though that is not trickling down and where it is not being felt. I was in two of them: Drumtara and the Queen Street area. People there would like to…
As I said yesterday, these are solemn matters. The proposals merit serious consideration, because we owe it to the victims.

I value the role that lawful migrants play in society. That is an important part of tackling the intolerance that can lead to…
