Nóirín O’Sullivan may face another grilling

TDs have voted to send Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan’s answers on the phantom breath tests and traffic convictions scandals to the Medical Bureau of Road Safety amid concerns she is giving false information to the Dáil.

The cross-party justice committee agreed to the controversial move — and refused to rule out demanding she return for another public grilling — after claims Ms O’Sullivan’s latest evidence includes contradictions about what happened.

As part of ongoing concerns about her public evidence last month, the justice committee last week told Ms O’Sullivan to respond to a series of written questions clarifying her version of what happened in the lead up to the dual scandals.
