A Stormont review into sentencing in Northern Ireland has increased the maximum penalties for causing death by driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.

Terrorist offences are not included in the changes. The Department of Justice states that such sentences fall under Westminster's responsibility.

Alliance leader Naomi Long heads the Department of Justice.

Judges in Northern Ireland have issued sentences for terror-related cases including Christopher Robinson receiving a minimum of 22 years for killing prison officer Adrian Ismay.

In December, Damien Duffy, 56, from Coalisland, received 12.5 years and Shea Reynolds, 31, from Lurgan, received 11.5 years for spying on a former police officer to gather information for a potential terrorist attack.
