Senior gardaí bid to steady the ship after Nóirín O’Sullivan resignation

The senior leadership of An Garda Síochána meets this morning for what has been described as a crucial bid to “steady the ship”.

The 17-strong senior leadership team is expected to discuss at length how it is going to govern an organisation in unprecedented crisis and how it is going to respond to forthcoming damaging reports and controversies.

Yesterday, the smaller Garda Executive met to set out how it would run today’s meeting. This body comprises the commissioner, the two deputy commissioners and the chief administrative officer (CAO).
