I thank the Minister for her answer. When NI Alternatives and Community Restorative Justice Ireland presented to the Committee recently, it felt as though they were being pushed to the periphery of the Department of Justice's new system, despite being accredited since 2007. Whether it is from a community or criminal justice perspective, could it be more beneficial to lean on their expertise, particularly for complex and sensitive cases?
