“The schemes being accredited today are..”

No sooner is the funding announced than those other 10 CBRJ schemes are accredited. Timing, eh? According to the Northern Ireland Criminal Justice Minister, Paul Goggins MP

“I have carefully examined all the relevant information on these schemes and share the view expressed by the Chief Inspector of Criminal Justice that there is no cause for concern in the way that Community Restorative Justice (Ireland) schemes now operate.”

That would be this view by the CJI. And this is how those schemes operate.From the NIO statement

The schemes being accredited today are;

CRJI Central Office, Belfast

CRJI Colin, Belfast

CRJI Falls, Belfast

CRJI Greater Andersonstown, Belfast

CRJI Upper Springfield, Belfast

CRJI Head Office, Derry
