The right person must be found to fill Garda Commissioner post

For the second time in three years, Fine Gael — the law and order party — has lost a Garda commissioner prematurely.

Having backed Nóirín O’Sullivan to the hilt for months, the party did little, in the end, to try and convince her to remain and so into retirement she has passed.

Retirement and not resignation, just like Martin Callinan before her.
