Sinn Féin North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly said figures showing North Belfast has the second highest number of sex offenders with addresses in the area in the whole of the North were concerning.
“This flags up the need for transfer of police and justice power so that local people in the North can have a say on how these issues are dealt with,” said Gerry.
“These powers should also be transferred as quickly as possible so that our locally elected representatives can deal with these issues that are clearly right on our doorstep.
“We need these levels of accountability and scrutiny right across the spectrum and Sinn Féin is rigorously pursing that."
