Police officers in Northern Ireland are frightened and their families and friends could be “jeopardised” after details were published in error, a former NI justice minister has said.
Speaking on BBC News NI’s Good Morning Ulster programme, Alliance Party leader Mrs Long said there would have to be a full and frank investigation into the circumstances of the breach.
Mr Nesbitt said he was aware of a police officer who had not been able to eat a meal at their mother’s home for 10 years due to the security risk posed to them.
Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris said he was “deeply concerned” by the data breach and that senior PSNI officers were keeping him updated.
The Police Federation of Northern Ireland, which represents officers’ interests, expressed dismay and anger at the incident, calling it a “breach of monumental proportions” which could cause “incalculable damage”.
In February this year, senior PSNI officer Det Ch Insp John Caldwell was seriously injured in a shooting in Omagh, County Tyrone.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
