I thank the Member for giving way. In the Minister's exchange with you, she was referring to the fact that, if a minor tweak to an amendment tabled by a Back-Bencher is required, that can be resolved at Further Consideration Stage. I will work with any Department to iron that out. To remove the list, as the Member is…

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Is it right and proper for Members across the Chamber to impugn a man's character, whereby he is not allowed to make a decision on the functioning of the House, namely to sign a petition of concern on a point of principle? Instead, it is being said that he has made some sort of…

I thank the Minister for that. It was lengthy, and I have lost the run of things and forgotten what I was going to say. The issue that the Minister has raised is the point that I make. Our system has to be better at treating young people who come into it. However, there must be accountability. The Minister talks about…

I want to make this point while it is in my head. Sian said that, when a child is caught up in the criminal justice system, the question that should be asked is, "What happened to that child?". That is the fundamental question that should be asked. If that is not happening now, why not? Why are the police not asking…

The Minister mentions that there is fear of coming forward because they may have committed an offence, but I suggest that the real fear for those children comes from being under the jackboot of criminal gangs. They are being bullied and coerced into that activity, sometimes without a choice. They do not want to do…

The Minister has just reliably informed the House of current failures in our criminal justice system, whereby a young person could be scared to come forward to an authority figure that could help them: a police officer, a social worker or anyone else for that matter.

I thank the Member for his intervention. Manslaughter is on the list. He illustrates a valid point, however. If someone is on trial for murder but pleads guilty to manslaughter — it is on the list — you can see how that trickles down and how a system that lists exclusive offences could be really detrimental to that…

I thank the Minister for her intervention. There is a court process to be had, however. When the charge sheet first goes to court, the DPP will say to that person, whoever they may be — it does not even need to be a child — that the defence will be such-and-such, and, many times, at the other end of the court process,…

If I am right about what the Member says, she is content that a child in court be tried for the offence of rape when they and their solicitor team or barrister team believe that they should be tried on a lesser charge. That child will have no choice but to be tried for rape. If that is what the Member is saying, that…

I thank the Minister for that intervention, because she has been informative about the processes. Those are the questions that I have been grappling with that no one else seems to want to grapple with. Those questions are really important. Nuala, do you want to come in?

The Member makes a really good point. That is why we need to do more of it and more extensively in order to save more victims and get more child perpetrators away from reoffending, crime and organised crime gangs. We do justice differently for young people and children than we do for adults, and that has been the case…

I thank the Minister for her intervention. All the good stuff that the Minister has talked about, albeit scant in detail and quite fluffy at this time, is what her Department and other Departments should be doing anyway to make our justice system better.

I completely agree with the Minister, and that is why we do not send children to prison. She talks about the law needing to catch up, but what we really want to see is this: all the systems that the Minister has just talked about wrapping around those children before we even touch the age of criminal responsibility.…

I thank the Member again for her intervention. The Youth Justice Agency told us in the Committee that there is a fear in them that, if it gets children at the age of 10, it can work with them and make a difference. If it gets that same child at 13 or 14 years of age, it fears that characters have already been…

I thank the Member for her intervention, but how is raising the age of criminal responsibility going to stop that victim from being victimised again? There is an issue here. There are many children out there of all different ages, understandings, mental growth, development and everything else, but there are a number…

I will finish my point first, and then I will let you in. You are basically saying that you are scared of the public uproar. Be honest with the people in here and the people outside. Sian said that it was about public confidence. You are basically saying that those are the most serious offences. If it is about the…

I am grateful to the Member for her intervention, but she is basically admitting that she is scared of a public uproar. If someone below the age of criminal responsibility that you are going to set commits the crime of murder —.

I thank the Member for that. I agree with her: we all need to do it better. Every Department needs to do it better, because the world is getting worse out there. The digital age is making it worse, but, physically, it is getting worse for our children. I have not been reassured yet that anything that we have in place…
