Football riot leads to Justice breakthrough?

Mark Devenport | 12:47 UK time, Monday, 30 March 2009

Every cloud has a silver lining, or so they say, so have the ugly disturbances before and after the Northern Ireland Poland match led to an, as yet unheralded, breakthrough in the unfinished business of devolving policing and justice?

I only ask because the SDLP has issued a statement which begins:

"SDLP Justice Minister Alban Maginness MLA has condemned racially motivated attacks on homes occupied by foreign nationals following Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifier with Poland."

The SDLP has always maintained the portfolio is rightfully theirs, but it's news to me that the DUP and Sinn Fein have signed off on this.
