Garda boss Nóirín O’Sullivan set to fill top vacancies

Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan is expected to bridge senior vacancies at the two most critical units in the security services following the appointment by the Government of three chief superintendents.

The three positions are among a total of 11 managers appointed by the Cabinet on Tuesday.

This was in response to renewed calls last Thursday by the commissioner for at least eight “critical vacancies” to be filled and for knock-on appointments to be made.
