The report was completed 18 months ago, and made allegations of Mr O’Callaghan ruling over a “toxic environment of fear,” with senior officers carrying out potentially criminal conduct.
Mr O’Callaghan told Mornings with Gareth Parker, he hasn’t been allowed to see the report, he wasn’t asked to respond, and the consultant behind it has form for ‘doing a number’ on previous commissioners.
