Text

Minister, I will read out the text of my question for oral answer:
"To ask the Minister of Justice to outline how her Department can contribute to addressing community concerns regarding criminality associated with illegal immigration."
Minister, we watched a gentleman having his head nearly removed on the street. That is a problem, whether you think so or not. I referred to it as being like something that I witnessed in the slaughterhouse in my previous job. We have to address it. I am not radical; I am just a normal MLA who talks to normal people in the street. They have concerns, Minister. Please do not judge them.
