THE resignation of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Chief Constable Simon Byrne this month was expected. According to the media his term of office as the PSNI’s most senior officer was marked by a series of damaging controversies.
The latest was the result of a judicial review over the suspension of one police officer and the repositioning of another.
A High Court judge said the actions were “unlawful” and quashed the measures — however the suspension of one police officer and the of repositioning of another had been lifted. In addition, the court said the chief constable “bent to political pressure” in the process.
