About this listen

Northern Ireland’s criminal defence barristers are on indefinite strike over pay.

The move will exacerbate delays in a system already notorious for how slowly it can operate but the lawyers say they have been left with no option.

Justice Minister Naomi Long says the strike is unnecessary and will have a "devastating impact on the justice system, particularly for victims".

Ciarán Dunbar is joined by criminal defence barristers, Michael Forde and Aoife Macauley, who put forward their case.
