Some unionist politicians have called for PSNI chief constable Simon Byrne to resign following a court ruling this week.
A Sinn Fein MLA has said that at no point did he suggest his party would withdraw support for the PSNI during discussions with senior officers about the policing of a Troubles memorial event in 2021.
High Court judge Mr Justice Scoffield said this week the decision was made to discipline the officers to allay any threat of Sinn Fein abandoning its support for policing in Northern Ireland.Mr Kelly said: “It’s a matter of public record that we raised our valid concerns with the chief constable and senior police officers about the arrest of victims on the Ormeau Road where families were commemorating the murders of their loved ones by loyalists.
The court ruling has prompted further criticism of Mr Byrne, who is already under pressure following revelations of data breaches this month. “The chief constable has said, and the counsel for the chief constable has said, he was guided by their threat to leave the Board. The two officers faced action in 2021 following the arrest of Mark Sykes, a survivor of a loyalist gun attack on the Sean Graham bookmakers shop in south Belfast in 1992.
