Top garda posts to be filled shortly
With Nóirín O’Sullivan now promoted to garda commissioner — after eight months of being the interim boss — the focus has now turned to shoring up posts at the ranks of superintendent, chief superintendent, assistant commissioner and deputy commissioner.
Interviews are under way to fill vacancies at superintendent and chief superintendent level. The Irish Examiner has learnt that seven or eight inspectors are expected to be promoted to superintendent rank before Christmas. A further four to five are also expected to have been promoted to chief superintendent by this stage.
