Embattled Garda Commissioner could be leaving for new position with Europol

The job with Europe’s law enforcement agency will become available in November this year.

Since becoming Commissioner in November 2014, Ms O’Sullivan has had to deal with a number of controversies – from almost one million falsified breath tests to most recently the financial scandal at the Garda Training College in Templemore, Co Tipperary.

I'd really worry for the integrity of europol if they look past all the various issues she's presided over and hire her for this

Big Phil's Irish Water farce was rewarded with a Commissionership & Kevin Cardiff was shuffled off to a €276,000-a-year position on the European Court Of Auditors.

If we didn't know for sure before, we do now - she has major dirt on someone important.

Sadly incompetence gets rewarded in the EU. Phil Hogan being a prime example.
