Dr. Stephen Farry:

I will give feedback to Naomi Long on Mr. McCord's broader comments on the criminal justice system and prisons. He can rest assured that Ms Long and the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland are resolutely opposed to the British Government's legacy proposals. They see them not just as immoral and unethical but also unworkable. They have made the point that they have major implications for the integrity of the criminal justice system in Northern Ireland. Both as Alliance leader and as Minister of Justice, she is very much exercised by the legacy proposals.
