Lennon dismissal - Garda had to go after revelations

THE Government was right to sack Superintendent Kevin Lennon from the Garda Siochána.

As one of two gardaí found by the Morris Tribunal to have orchestrated hoax finds of explosives to further their own careers, it would be unconscionable to keep him on in the force.

By any yardstick, his behaviour was reprehensible and contrary to everything the gardaí stand for as guardians of the public and upholders of law and order in the State.
