    Honours being bestowed include Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)) and the King’s Police Medal (KPM).

    Justice Minister Naomi Long said: 

    “The incredible service staff provide to protect the public, support victims and tackle reoffending are recognised in each of these honours.

    "The challenges faced by staff throughout the justice system and the courage and professionalism with which they approach their roles has been highlighted in recent days and weeks. Without their dedication, Northern Ireland would be a much poorer place to live.

    “I wish to pay tribute and congratulate those who have been recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours list.”
