Mounting pressure as opposition calls for Nóirín O’Sullivan to resign

Nóirín O’Sullivan is under mounting pressure to go after Government faced a unified chorus to declare no confidence in the Garda Commissioner in the Dáil.

The Taoiseach and Tánaiste came under sharp criticism in the Dáil as Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and the Labour Party all accused Government of failing to address the latest controversy within the force.

Enda Kenny announced that yet another “root and branch” review of An Garda Síochána had been signed off on by Cabinet, which was immediately attacked and dismissed by opposition parties yesterday.
