Cabinet to receive recommendation for long-vacant Deputy Garda Commissioner position

Four assistant garda commissioners applied for the position: Justin Kelly, Organised and Serious Crime; Cliona Richardson, North Western Region; Jonathan Roberts, Governance & Accountability; and Angela Willis, Dublin Metropolitan Region.

The Cabinet is expected to receive a recommendation for the person to fill the long-vacant position of Deputy Garda Commissioner as early as tomorrow.

It is thought that the name was decided last week shortly after a second, and final, round of interviews was held last Monday.
