Tánaiste ‘disturbed’ by FF vow to sack Garda Commissioner

The Tánaiste is “very disturbed” that Fianna Fáil would sack Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan immediately if the party gains power, dubbing it “profoundly undemocratic”.

It comes as Cabinet have signed off on the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland which will be chaired by Seattle police chief Kathleen O’Toole.

The review of the gardaí is to be given the power to make immediate recommendations if they feel there are changes that must be implemented urgently.
