A charity which represents victims of sexual abuse has criticised a decision not to fix a date for the return of Crown Court cases to Londonderry.The Northern Ireland Court Service has said it will only bring Crown Court business back to Bishop Street Courthouse "when it is safe to do so".
"As an organisation, we at Nexus consistently call for our judicial processes to be victim led in order to minimise distress and barriers to reporting," she said. "Then to get the Crown Court back up and running again they decided to move it to Coleraine because there is more space for social distancing, for juries. There wasn't that space in the court in Bishop Street.
