In a statement on June 01, 2025, a spokesperson for Comhairle Uladh (Ulster Executive), Sinn Féin Poblachtach said: “The misconduct and plummeting credibility of the British colonial police in Occupied Ireland continues.
“Headlines in the web-based media have stated that in the Occupied Six Counties a senior member of the RUC/PSNI is facing possible fraud charges after allegations of double-jobbing while on sick leave.
“The member, who works for the unit investigating police misconduct, was allegedly signed off sick but took on work for the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR).
“In an attempt, to secure jobs for the boys the ICRIR disregarded their own policies and procedures. This is an organisation that does not have the confidence of hundreds of victims’ relatives, who continue to believe they could never get justice through the ICRIR Commission.
“Sinn Féin Poblachtach have said not a week goes by that the news media doesn’t report on some type of incident in the never-ending whirlwind of RUC/PSNI shame.
“In addition, a more damming example has come to light. As reported by the Irish News, only just over one in every five RUC/PSNI members recruited in Occupied Ireland over the past five years came with just 7% openly nationalist, demonstrating the lack of public confidence in British colonial policing structures.
“Only the pro-British apologists in Stormont, media outlets and RUC/PSNI HQ propagandists in Brooklyn, Knock Road, working as a collective to blindside the public into believing that they (the police) are delivering on their ethos: ‘we care, we listen, we act’. The ‘PSNI’ were billed as a new police force to replace the disgraced RUC; however, it was obvious from the beginning that it was just renaming the old sectarian British police force.”
