Text
Recently, I asked the Minister of Justice what her options were for securing the money for the compensation. She said that in no circumstances could her Department's budget meet it. She said that she would continue to engage with the Department of Finance to try to get additional funding from the Executive or HM Treasury. It now appears, however, that the Treasury has slammed the door in the face of the Minister and the Assembly, and it is having a devastating effect on the morale of the PSNI.
