Nóirín O’Sullivan faces recall after ‘shocking’ document found

Former commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan may be hauled back to the Disclosure Tribunal to answer questions about an unseen Garda document which described Sergeant Maurice McCabe as paranoid.

The document, which was revealed yesterday at the tribunal, was given as briefing material to legal counsel representing Ms O’Sullivan and four senior officers at the O’Higgins commission in 2015.

The O’Higgins inquiry was investigating allegations by Sgt McCabe of poor policing in Cavan/Monaghan and allegations of corruption and malpractice against senior officers.
