GRA conference: I was assaulted on duty too - Nóirín O’Sullivan

Nóirín O’Sullivan says she wants to hear from any gardaí who feel they were not treated properly after assault.

Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan has said that during her career she has been “bitten, spat at and assaulted” on a number of occasions, once leading to “a dislocated shoulder.”

The country’s most senior garda said she can empathise with frontline members of the force who claim the number of attacks on gardaí is on the rise.
