Groupthink dangerous for society, says ceann comhairle

The ceann comhairle says he is “frightened” by groupthink, which is “extremely dangerous” for society, in the wake of what he termed as “robust” criticism of the Garda commissioner

Seán Ó Fearghaíl has conceded that Nóirín O’Sullivan still has a lot of work to do to regain the confidence of the public.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, he said Ms O’Sullivan was treated robustly by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in its investigation into bogus Garda breath tests.
