THERE is no rift between the police and the Attorney General’s legal team, the man now in charge of the historic child abuse inquiry said today.
Deputy police chief David Warcup (pictured) said that his team and lawyers dealing with the case now had a good working relationship.
Mr Warcup has issued a statement saying that the present relationship between the two agencies ‘was helpful in ensuring that this major investigation would lead to criminals being brought before the courts.’

He issued the statement following an interview on BBC radio given by Lenny Harper, who formerly ran the inquiry.
In that interview, Mr Harper said that he did not believe that the interests of the abuse victims was the primary concern of the Island authorities and he claimed that the police team had encountered inexplicable delays by law officers dealing with the case.
