An emergency meeting of Northern Ireland's Policing Board has been called for tomorrow.

Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd says the information which has now been taken down, contained just limited details of staff.

'It is limited to surname and initial only, so there is no other personable identifiable information contained within the information that was published,but that will be still of significant concern to many of my colleagues. I know that and we will ensure we do everything we can to mitigate any security risks that are identified.'
