Very interesting little snippit buried in an Irish News story today. Lord Morrow told the paper:
“There will be no devolution of policing and justice during the lifetime of this assembly….it is not going to happen and that is it. It will not happen before the general election or the assembly election. It is not an issue.”
Seems a little out of the blue, and odd clarity to a policy position that has up until now been a little hazy, seemingly deliberately.
