Perhaps, if the Member read the judgement rather than the 'Belfast Telegraph', he would have a better grasp of what the issues are. The judge did not find that post-death anonymity was inappropriate or that the matter was outwith the legislative competence of the Assembly. The judge found that there was inadequate opportunity to challenge, during the lifetime of a suspect, the ability to publish their details. As I have already said clearly, there are legislative fixes for both, either or none of those issues. That is not the issue on which I was consulting Executive colleagues.
