The leadership of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has been urged to give a “full response” following a major data blunder.

PSNI Chief Constable Simon Byrne cut short a family holiday to return to Belfast to answer questions about the data breach, which saw some details of around 10,000 officers and staff published online for a number of hours on Tuesday.
