GRA wants Noirín O’Sullivan to lead the force

The largest garda representative association has told the Government it should appoint Noirín O’Sullivan as Garda commissioner.

Ms O’Sullivan, the interim commissioner, received a standing ovation as she addressed delegates at the Garda Representative Association’s annual conference.

GRA president John Parker said since the retirement of Martin Callinan, Ms O’Sullivan had moved swiftly to deal with the various emerging issues in order to maintain public confidence in the force and morale within ranks.
