Construction of the facility at Forensic Science Northern Ireland’s Seapark site is due to be completed during September 2015 and fully operational by March 2016.

Mr Ford said: “Forensic Science Northern Ireland is already a leader in its use of DNA 17 techniques and the new laboratory will help deliver on my commitment to a faster and fairer justice system for the community in Northern Ireland.”
