A police officer says his wife is no longer comfortable in Northern Ireland after the data breaches.
The surname and first initial of every employee, their rank or grade, where they are based and the unit they work in, including sensitive areas such as surveillance and intelligence, were included.
Almost 2,000 officers are considering taking legal action in the wake of the breaches, according to the Police Federation, a union which represents rank-and-file officers.During the 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles, more than 300 police officers from all backgrounds were murdered.
"I've been involved in a few security incidents that could have had severe consequences and I think that, for me personally, the anxiousness and the nervousness of what this data breach is or could do has brought it all back." The Catholic Police Guild, which represents some Catholic PSNI members, said the PSNI must take account of the "particular sensitivities" of Catholic members.Mr Byrne, who also met representatives from the PSNI's other staff associations, said afterwards he had reassured the guild that he was committed to supporting everyone affected.
The woman left the police due to post-traumatic stress disorder from incidents experienced in the course of her job.
