The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee is investigating a major PSNI data breach.
Northern Ireland Affairs Committee chairman Simon Hoare said the Policing Board should be in no doubt that it will have to answer questions about controversies which have rocked the PSNI
Mr Byrne’s resignation was announced on Monday following a string of controversies, including a data breach which revealed personal details of officers and staff, and a critical High Court judgment which said the disciplining of two officers following an arrest at a Troubles memorial event in Belfast in 2021 was unlawful.
SDLP MP Claire Hanna told the committee: “Could I put on record my concerns that the Policing Board aren’t here. “But the board should be in no doubt at all that they will appear before this committee to take our questions and will do so in public.“I suppose the germane fact is the chief constable resigning yesterday obviously played a part, but we will hear from them.”
