'There are people connected to Charter NI who are connected to the UDA' - senior PSNI officer Stephen Martin
One of the most senior police officers in Northern Ireland have told the Nolan Show that people connected to Charter NI are engaged in recent active paramilitary activity.
A bombshell for Charter NI. One of the most senior police officers in Northern Ireland have told the Nolan Show that people connected to Charter NI are engaged in recent active paramilitary activity. The Charter NI board are urgently seeking a meeting with police to see what's going on. Is this a game changer? Can the executive office allow public money to go to an organisation connected to active paramilitaries. And what will the first minister Arlene Foster now do?
We heard from commentator Seamus Close, SDLP MLA Nicola Mallon, Alliance Party deputy leader Stephen Farry, UUP leader Mike Nesbitt and chairman of Charter NI Drew Haire.

Charter NI
A potential game changer in the Social Investment Fund story. Up to now, the police have not been drawn specifically on Charter NI. Not anymore. One of the most senior police officers in NI have told the Nolan Show current members of the UDA are engaged in active paramilitary activity. This morning , Charter NI have said they are urgently seeking a meeting with the police after these revelations. This is a potential game changer. What now will the government do in Northern Ireland after the top policeman - Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin - has told the Nolan Show about this paramilitary activity? What will the First and Deputy First Minister do? And what will the board of Charter do, in order to protect their organisation which undoubtedly has many good, decent people working for it? Listen to the exchange with ACC Martin which has created this breaking story this morning, and hear from commentator Seamus Close and SDLP MLA Nicola Mallon
