Top garda’s refusal to make tea was obduracy

The tale of Garda Commissioner Noírín O’Sullivan’s refusal to make sandwiches/tea at her first Garda station is stirring.

Now that the commissioner has told us just how she distinguished herself, and, indeed, rose through the ranks, might she let us know when some serious action will be taken about the dire drugs problems in inner-city Dublin, and elsewhere.

In case she hasn’t noticed, it is worse than it was on the day she was busy asserting herself, for the sake of putting bread, butter and ham together — and boiling a kettle.
