Text

I thank the Minister for her answer and, indeed, for the time that she gave so generously last week when she met the family. Does she agree that it should not be necessary for an MLA to make representations to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS), to her as Justice Minister and, indeed, to the Criminal Bar Association in order to see appropriate attention given to a case as traumatic and serious as the one in question? Will the Minister give me an assurance that she will do all in her power to ensure that the case comes to a conclusion on 29 June, before the summer recess?
