Meeting to discuss security at G8 summit G8 summit: 3,600 extra police officers being flown to NI
(35 minutes later)
Details of the policing and security operation for next month's G8 summit in County Fermanagh are being discussed at a meeting at Hillsborough Castle. PSNI chief constable Matt Baggott has said an extra 3,600 police officers are being flown into Northern Ireland next month from Great Britain for the G8 summit.
The Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers and Justice Minister David Ford are expected to discuss the benefits arising from the summit. Mr Baggott said Northern Ireland was a "safe place to work and live".
PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott and Assistant Chief Constable Alistair Finlay are to give an overview of policing and security arrangements. He said he would be doing everything to ensure "it was the most successful G8 summit in history".
Journalists will then ask questions. World leaders are to gather for two days at Lough Erne golf resort in County Fermanagh on 17 and 18 June.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has said nearly 3,000 officers from forces in Britain have volunteered to be part of the huge security operation for the summit in June. Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said it would be one of the biggest policing operations ever in Northern Ireland, with mutual aid from Great Britain and 600 security staff from G4S and others.
That is in spite of police unions in the rest of the UK advising their members not to volunteer until safety and insurance issues are resolved.
The security operation will be the largest the PSNI has ever mounted.

Mr Baggott said protesters would not get within sight of the world leaders and that they would have the space to get on with their "important work".
"Military will be providing assistance to the police during G8," he added.
He said he had received "huge support" from police in Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland and Canada.
PSNI assistant chief constable Alastair Finlay said it was possible some G8 leaders would visit other parts of Northern Ireland but nothing had been requested yet.
