Sectarian and Racist Intimidation from Homes - Amendment 2
Leave out all after “whole-community approach;” and insert:
‘condemns the disparity of treatment between those expressing support for proscribed paramilitary organisations and those expressing support for Palestine Action; acknowledges that there is a housing crisis which requires urgent cross-departmental interventions to remove barriers to building more social and affordable homes; calls on the Minister for Communities to outline what specific action his Department is undertaking to focus resources to deliver housing for all, based on the Community Safety Framework designed to protect people being targeted in their own homes; and further calls on the Minister to reform and re-introduce intimidation points for all who have intimidated from their homes.’
