Following the first public meeting of the restructured Six County Policing-Board this afternoon, Sinn Fein MLA, Alex Maskey said;
"We tabled a number of questions for the PSNI Chief Constable to deal with including the lack of co-operation with inquests into a series of killings in Belfast and Tyrone, the lack of movement towards an unarmed service and the continuing under representation of Catholics in senior positions," said Mr Maskey.
"While public sessions like the one today are important, particularly to allow members of the public to ask questions, much of our work will take place on the committees.
"Sinn Fein are serious about our commitment to achieving an accountable and acceptable policing service.
"Today is another step along that road. We want to shape future policing structures to ensure real accountability, representativeness and impartiality. That is our job on the Policing Board."
