UUP leader Doug Beattie has called on him to step down.

The PSNI's Chief Constable says he's not resigning. Simon Byrne spoke briefly to the media following a policing board meeting in Belfast that lasted close to seven hours.

The session was held in Belfast to discuss the fallout from a High Court judgment, which ruled that two junior officers were unlawfully disciplined for making an arrest at a Troubles commemoration event in 2021.

Mr Byrne arrived with other senior officers at midday yesterday, but it was after 7pm before he emerged from the meeting. DUP MLA and Policing Board Rep, Trevor Clark, once again called for the Chief Constable's resignation.
