Commissioner faces renewed pressure after holiday

The Garda Commissioner is facing considerable pressure to publicly comment on multiple controversies as she returns to work this morning after a five-week holiday, writes Cormac O’Keeffe.

Nóirín O’Sullivan is expected to react to serious concerns regarding reports that she applied for the top job in Europol, the EU police agency, at a time when she had repeatedly underlined her determination to drive Garda reform.
