NI Police Federation chairman says Simon Byrne's chief constable replacement 'has a mountain to climb'.
There is a "worrying disconnect" between senior leadership in the Police Service of Northern Ireland and rank-and-file officers, the Police Federation for NI has warned.Policing Board members accepted Mr Byrne's resignation on Monday.
In a statement on Monday, Mr Byrne said it was "now time for someone new to lead this proud and resolute organisation". "That is what I have been very clear about, as a result of this fiasco and everything that has gone on over the last number of months and weeks, whoever is coming in here has a mountain to climb," he added.
The event was marking the anniversary of the 1992 Sean Graham bookmakers attack where five people were murdered by loyalist paramilitaries.
