Simon Byrne has faced renewed calls to quit from unionist politicians this week
Northern Ireland’s embattled police chief faces another crunch meeting with his oversight body later following the latest controversy to rock his tenure.
The episode has heaped further pressure on a senior police officer who was already facing questions about his future after a major data blunder at the Police Service of Northern Ireland led to personal details of officers entering the public domain and getting into the hands of dissident republicans.
Trevor Clarke, the DUP ’s lead representative on the Policing Board, said the statement from Sinn Fein did not answer the questions raised. Ulster Unionist Party leader Doug Beattie has asked for an urgent meeting with Mr Byrne, while TUV leader Jim Allister said the chief constable should resign.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.
