Enda Kenny has expressed full confidence in Garda Commissioner

The Taoiseach has expressed his full confidence in the Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan.

In the wake of the two gangland killings, Enda Kenny has said the Government has provided the resources and facilities she has requested over the past twelve months.

Speaking on the campaign trail in Sligo the Fine Gael leader has also ruled out any emergency legislation to tackle gangland: “Yes I do have full confidence in the Commissioner.

“I don’t believe that particular special powers are required here.

“The Gardaí, the special units and the emergency response unit have dealt with this in other locations in the country over a period of years and before in Dublin.

“So I expect that the high visibility, policing that will now follow through, I hope that would yield results.”
