Last week Mr Byrne insisted that he would not quit the top job
A briefing at the Policing Board is set to take place in the coming minutes, with the media expected to be told details of the news.The news emerged after policing board members accepted his resignation. Mr Byrne was appointed chief constable of the PSNI in May 2019.
The judge said they had been disciplined to allay a threat that Sinn Fein could withdraw its support for policing. Sinn Fein has insisted there was no such threat. Mr Byrne has since been facing growing pressure, with both rank and file officers and civilian staff considering confidence votes in his leadership.
The spokesperson said all meetings this week would be “dedicated to dealing with the situation at hand”. The PSNI has confirmed the list is in the hands of dissident republicans, who continue to target officers.
