Former commmissioner responsible for actions of her legal team, Sgt McCabe's lawyer tells Charleton Tribunal

Former garda commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan remained responsible for the actions of her legal team at the O'Higgins Commission of Inquiry, lawyers for whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe told the Charleton Tribunal.

Michael McDowell SC, for Sgt McCabe, said that whatever was done at the O'Higgins Commission by the legal team acting on behalf of garda commissioner O'Sullivan was in effect done by the commissioner, on whose authority they acted.
