O’Sullivan brings ‘different approach’ to commissioner role

Senior gardaí from across the country have spoken openly at a “crisis summit” held yesterday by Noirín O’Sullivan, the acting commissioner.

A number of sources told the Irish Examiner that Ms O’Sullivan sought views from her managers as the force continued to battle a succession of crises and controversies in the force.

“There was an acknowledgement that there is a crisis at the moment in relation to the tapes and the resignation of the commissioner,” said one senior source.
