Resignation statement: ‘Regardless of the rights and wrongs it is now time for someone new to lead this proud and resolute organisation’
Paolo Nutini at Electric Picnic 2023: Entertaining – but probably not what his long-time fans were hoping for“The last few days have been very difficult for all concerned,” the statement read. “Regardless of the rights and wrongs it is now time for someone new to lead this proud and resolute organisation.
That statement was met by anger from the Police Federation, with its chair Liam Kelly expressing “disbelief and anger” at the chief constable’s statement. Mr Kelly added: “On a personal level, Mr Byrne has always been approachable and courteous. He has provided over 40 years of policing service to the communities across the United Kingdom. I do not doubt his commitment and attempts to build a modern, strong, community-focused Service during his tenure in Northern Ireland.
At the press conference, policing board chair Deirdre Toner said Mr Byrne had tendered his resignation with immediate effect. Details of around 10,000 PSNI officers and staff included the surname and first initial of every employee, their rank or grade, where they are based and the unit they work in.
