@joem4d1n3 @Paul_Mc_Cusker @AodhanFagan @RobinSwannMoH @DeirdreHargey I've responded positively to Paul. I'm away atm but happy to join him and other ministers on my return.
I'm well aware if the seriousness of the issue: we've been working with others to find more sustainable solutions for those in contact with the justice system.
@JonathanMallon1 @Marleymo6 @thePPSNI @NI_DOJ Only they can answer that. The Policing Board were first briefed on the PII back in March as I understand it. All parties were therefore aware of the issue some time ago.
@JohnSco19020631 @BBCNewsNI @allianceparty I have no vires in this.
Someone on bail isn't convicted and by law has to be treated as innocent. The courts decide on appropriate bail conditions for someone awaiting trial, with input from PSNI.
If found guilty of murder, a person faces a mandatory life sentence.
@GazNI1886 @BBCNewsNI @AmandaFBelfast No, I can't. Someone on bail isn't convicted and by law has to be treated as innocent.
It's the courts and police that decide on appropriate bail conditions for someone awaiting trial.
If found guilty of murder, a person faces a mandatory life sentence at that point.

@AndrewS32704070 @Marleymo6 @thePPSNI @NI_DOJ It says clearly in my bio, if you need a reply to email.
The judiciary and their decisions are not within my remit: they are operationally independent of DoJ and the Minister.
If you have queries, you should write to the Judge or Lady Chief Justice.
@Marleymo6 @thePPSNI @NI_DOJ No. They're a non ministerial department, entirely distinct from DoJ and independent in their decision-making.
They have a complaints process which is available in their website.
