No surprise whatsoever.

Sycamore Tree · 31-10-2018 07:34PM

I have seen it all now.

Ridiculous appointment.

Spanish Eyes · 31-10-2018 07:34PM

Wonder who her referees were!

And they say crime doesn't pay

KaneToad · 31-10-2018 07:41PM

What corruption and incompetence?? Do you know something that the tribunal don't?

Do you think McCabe is the first and last victim of callinans malice? That he just started to act that way after four decades in the job? Her paths and callinans are linked, and theres no way she didn't know what kind of creature he was.

Or those who couldn't get missing mobile phones. Or get a decent percentage of Gardai they contacted to respond.

Was this not announced/leaked months ago? So obviously it's no surprise.

No, that was another Job.

Sickening....... Just sickening

Congrats to her.

Great to see an Irish person getting a prestigious international role like that. Irish people can be proud to be sending such a high calibre professional to be part of security on the world stage. Its quite a tribute and endorsement of the high standards we have in the Gardai.

One what?

Do you dismiss the findings of Charleston? Fair enough if you do. I don't.

Former garda commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan has been exonerated of mistreating garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe and of helping to orchestrate a smear campaign against him.

In a report which severely criticised her predecessor, Martin Callinan, and the former head of the Garda Press Office, Supt David Taylor, the Disclosures Tribunal chairman Mr Justice Peter Charleton found Ms O’Sullivan was not party to efforts to discredit Sgt McCabe by briefing the media and politicians against him.

The standards in the guards are many things. High is not one of them.

Just like the job John Bruton got back in the day

Does UN stand for unmerciful neck ?

Ridiculous appointment.

She was pretty much fully vindicated by a tribunal of inquiry - what are your reasons against the appointment?

Try to be specific.

archer22 · 31-10-2018 08:21PM

Callinan must in line for the UN secretary general post.

None of the faux outraged will be specific, because they can’t .

I regard her exoneration as less than credible, considering her lofty position in the force. To suggest she wasn't privy to the character assassination of McCabe is bogus. Unless she had cotton stuffed in her ears and a blindfold over her eyes.

So you dispute the tribunal findings. Fair enough.

The inquiry wasn't into her performance as Garda manager. Just because she was exonerated fully under the terms of reference doesn't excuse her and senior managers in An Garda Siochana being incompetent.

Incompetence and corruption rewarded - Nóirín O'Sullivan appointed to UN role
