SF urged to join Policing Board

Sinn Féin joining the Policing Board which holds the Police Service of Northern Ireland to account will be the last piece in the jigsaw of policing reform, the board chairman said today.

If devolution is achieved by next Monday's deadline following the republican party's decision to support the PSNI, the Policing Board will be reconstituted with Sinn Féin given three of the 10 seats reserved for political representatives.
