Enda Dolan was struck by a van driven by David Lee Stewart in October 2014 .

His family have campaigned over the last decade to increase the maximum penalty.

Justice Minister Naomi Long said she planned to bring forward a Sentencing Bill.

The bill would also include a proposal to introduce a life sentence for offenders with a previous conviction for a similar offence.

Mr Dolan said the justice system in Northern Ireland was “not fair” and needed to change.
