Stormont's Justice Minister Naomi Long has rejected a call to set up a public inquiry into the surveillance of journalists and lawyers by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.The PSNI is expected to bring a report on "the extent" of the matter to a Policing Board meeting later this week.
But Mrs Long said while she shared concerns about the issue, she needed to respect "carefully designed lines of accountability" between the PSNI and the Policing Board, which oversees policing and holds the organisation to account. “The public concern arises from the misinterpretation of documents made available in redacted form at the Tribunal, at least one of which was subsequently published.”
