Personal details relating to over 10,000 PSNI officers and staff were mistakenly released in response to an innocuous freedom of information request
The head of the organisation representing Catholic PSNI officers says he has advised some of them to bring personal protection weapons to Mass in the aftermath of the police data breach.
“We have had officers, resigning, going from the organisation. Our members are frightened, scared, have no idea what tomorrow will bring for them,” he told the committee. Liam Kelly, chairman of the Police Federation of Northern Ireland that represents more than 6,000 rank and file PSNI officers, said their members felt betrayed by their information being leaked from the inside.
Mr Kelly said some officers were already in the public domain, but those who had kept their identity hidden now felt vulnerable at the risk of identification. Following the budget for Northern Ireland that was set by Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris in the absence of a Stormont executive, the PSNI was said to be facing a funding gap of £141 million.
