A former PSNI chief appointed last month to the rank of assistant commissioner in An Garda Síochána has been handed the sensitive remit of the Garda Anti-Corruption Unit.

Jonathan Roberts was attested to the organisation and appointed as assistant commissioner by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris after being approved by the Policing Authority at the end of July.
