Nóirin O’Sullivan faces first of two Dáil grillings to save her job

Garda commissioner Nóirin O’Sullivan will this morning face the first of two crunch Dáil grillings over a series of scandals that have hit the force amid ongoing calls for her to resign.

She will be questioned by the Oireachtas justice committee from 9am, with her future potentially on the line.

While the Government is continuing to back Ms O’Sullivan, Fianna Fáil is due to hold an internal private meeting after the committee hearing to decide on whether it should push further for her to step down.
