Proceeding contribution from Baroness Paisley of St George's (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.


Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

I agree with what has been said about the community restorative justice schemes in republican areas, but we must not forget that in Protestant areas that are generally law-abiding we have been scourged with Protestant paramilitaries who are no better than those in the republican areas, some of whom have committed the most heinous crimes. We need to watch out on both sides of the divide in Northern Ireland that we do not let those people into the schemes. I am sure that the noble Lord would agree with that also.
