Text

Minister, we know that there are 200 people in North Belfast who have been convicted of sex crimes, but the right to disclose puts the burden on those who want to protect their local community. Why do you not believe that we should go further and ensure that that right is promoted across society? What work have you done as Justice Minister to encourage people's understanding of the fact that they have the right to apply for that information?
