PSNI CHIEF CONSTABLE Simon Byrne is due to face robust questioning at a private meeting of his oversight body – the NI Policing Board – for the first time since DUP leader Arlene Foster called on him to resign.
The controversial decision not to prosecute 24 Sinn Fein politicians for alleged coronavirus breaches at the Bobby Storey funeral came amid a deepening political row over how the authorities handled last June’s events in west Belfast.
