Text

Minister, in response — you did not say this in your answer — to a colleague of mine, Councillor de Faoite, you indicated the large number of organisations that have been declined meetings. What do you say to those organisations, many of which are charities and which are legally registered with the Charity Commission, Companies House and all sorts of other legal routes, that are startled to see you decline meetings with them but accept meetings with an umbrella group linked to paramilitary organisations?
