TUV leader Jim Allister said:
“This is the same Chief Constable who just a few days ago said that he accepted the judgement of the High Court. Now, to save his own skin, he says he considering an appeal.
“The Policing Board has predictably failed and as a result the farce continues. My thoughts tonight are with the officers on the ground who have been badly let down. We have a Chief Constable in office but not in power, his reputation beyond repair with his own officers never mind the wider public.”
