Text
Mr Speaker, I apologise to you and the House for not being in my place during questions to the Minister for Communities. Minister, do you agree that it is vital that any member of the public who has any information, no matter how small, about the recent attacks brings that information immediately to the attention of the PSNI to assist with its investigation?
