Programme Director of Amnesty International Northern Ireland, Patrick Corrigan, put forward the case for a strong Bill of Rights  on the Politics Show on Sunday 21st February.

Patrick faced tough questioning from presenter Jim Fitzpatrick but argued favourably for the need for a Northern Ireland specific Bill of Rights. Speaking on the show Patrick said,

“…arguably what we don’t have here in huge quantities is accountability, we have a system at Stormont where there is little opposition. A Bill of Rights for NI would give you a degree of transparency and accountability around decision making that would help people have their human rights.”
