Text

I will in a wee minute. We do not want to make things worse or exacerbate problems. We have heard such good examples today. One size does not fit all in this place. What happens in the constituencies of East Belfast, West Belfast or Fermanagh and South Tyrone can be very different, but we could take very good examples of the best of human behaviour, such as we have heard about from my colleague Deborah Erskine today, and try to apply that to the best of our ability across this country without the need for portals and desperate amounts of money being thrown at legislation that gives police more responsibility, more cost and more grief and gives DFI workers more grief and more responsibility. We could do things better. I will give way to Mr Gaston at this point.
