Belfast High Court judge ruled that decision to discipline junior police officers over incident at Troubles memorial event was unlawful
Wed Aug 30 2023 - 12:25
Mr Byrne said he accepted the findings of the court but added that neither officer has been disciplined to date. He told the BBC Good Morning Ulster programme: “Where a judge has said a chief constable is prepared to sacrifice his young officers, how can the chief constable or anyone else expect anyone’s support after that?”
“A small number of members from families of the victims gathered on the Ormeau Road in February 2021 to remember their loved ones and call for the publication of a delayed Police Ombudsman’s report into their murders by a loyalist gang. 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.
Mr Byrne apologised for the PSNI’s handling of the event and it was announced that one officer was to be suspended and one repositioned.
