Timmy Dooley Calls For Garda Commissioner To Step Down

On Wednesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Timmy Dooley, Fianna Fáil Senator from Mountshannon, who is calling for the Garda Commissioner to step down. The Clare Senator told the Seanad that frontline gardaí don’t think Drew Harris “has their back." Some opposition parties have called on both Commissioner Harris and Justice Minister Helen McEntee to resign, arguing their positions have become untenable following last week's riots in the capital. Commissioner Harris is set to appear before the Oireachtas Justice Committee this afternoon. Justice Minister Helen McEntee was also due to be there, but will be standing in for the Taoiseach at leaders questions in the Dáil instead. Picture (c) by Stephen Barnes from Getty Images via Canva
