Garda Commissioner ‘occasionally’ used private Gmail for work

Garda HQ yesterday confirmed Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan “occasionally used” a private Gmail address for work but said there was “no evidence” that it was ever compromised.

In a statement, An Garda Síochána said the commissioner “would under no circumstances” compromise her obligations to protect national security and policing operations by sharing such information on Gmail.

The commissioner is sending a report to the Department of Justice and the Policing Authority.
