They’re stunned, they’re angry, they’re even questioning the future.” He said he had heard most from officers from a Catholic or nationalist background, some of whom keep their job a secret even from family members.
“They’re saying ‘we’re making sacrifices, we knew the risks, but we don’t deserve this to have our personal information in the public domain and we don’t know where that ends up’.”Police Service of Northern Ireland Chief Constable Simon Byrne has arrived at the Policing Board’s premises in Belfast.Mr Byrne is set to be questioned by political representatives about how the data breach happened, the implications for the organisation and what safeguards were in place.
