New senior garda managers will help fill 'critical vacancies' says commissioner

The Garda commissioner said the appointment by the Government of 28 senior garda managers will “help to address the critical vacancies” in the organisation.

Nóirín O’Sullivan told the Irish Examiner she would continue to work with government departments and the Policing Authority to ensure that “adequate and appropriate leadership capacity” was in place.

The Government last week announced the appointment of 28 garda managers: 10 chief superintendents, and 18 superintendents.
