Paul Cleary’s appointment to lead Dublin policing comes amid challenges of anti-immigration sentiment and crime in region
management ranks has seen Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary appointed to lead policing in the Dublin metropolitan region, the busiest area by far for the Garda force.
The Dublin City Taskforce, chaired by An Post chief executive David McRedmond, recently recommended 1,000 extra gardaí should be deployed to shore up security, and provide reassurance to the public, in central Dublin.Colm Fox inquest hears of ‘endless’ requests from defence team in Regency Hotel trialMan pleads guilty to boiling water and hammer attack on wife as she slept at family home
A 31-year veteran of the Garda, Mr Cleary has amassed considerable and varied experience, especially in Dublin and with organised crime investigations. Sources said his experience meant he was very well placed for the demanding Dublin job, adding he was well regarded by his colleagues and seen as a decisive manager of personnel and operations.
One of the key figures in the Kinahan cartel’s Irish operation, Thompson was a leading protagonist in the feud and his imprisonment for life remains the highest value conviction in the Republic arising from the Kinahan-Hutch dispute. The investigation was described as “world class” by Garda Commissioner. He was also tasked with compiling a report, for the Policing Authority, on the Dublin riots last November and the Garda’s response to the violence.
