Last night it was reavealed that tougher penalties agreed by the Stormont Executive for breaches of coronavirus restrictions are not yet law due to a delay in printing enforcement notices.
The Executive agreed on October 8 to raise the minimum fine to £200, and fines on conviction up to £10,000.
Over a month later, Justice Minister Naomi Long said the regulations “should be laid shortly” in the Assembly to become law.
