Will Murphy apologise? – Clarke

DUP South Antrim MLA Trevor Clarke has welcomed clarification from PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher, dispelling Sinn Féin’s Conor Murphy’s claims that warning the British Heart Foundation about a potential police investigation into former Sinn Féin press officer Michael McMonagle would have prejudiced the investigation.

Speaking after the meeting of the Policing Board, Trevor Clarke, who sits on the Board, said:

“It is important that, on issues as serious as safeguarding children, public representatives are factual in the comments they make.

I welcome the Chief Constable’s clarification. Conor Murphy’s extraordinary claims about prejudicing the PSNI investigation now lie in tatters.

Conor Murphy should now apologise and make it clear that he accepts what he said was wrong.”
