Two Government ministers have expressed confidence in the Garda Commissioner - despite a damning report from the Public Accounts Committee.

It's accused her of "unacceptable" inaction - and several of its members are calling for her to be dismissed.

The PAC's findings, bluntly, are that it was "unacceptable" for Noirin O'Sullivan to withhold information about the financial issue at Templemore from both the State auditor and the Department of Justice.

It also finds there was a culture of withholding information and trying to keep matters internal to avoid scrutiny.

The PAC doesn't have the power to say if the Commissioner should go - but individual members like Alan Kelly do.

The Labour TD claimed the Commissioner's position is "totally untenable".

That's a position shared by several others on the committee, including Sinn Féin - but not Fianna Fáil, which includes committee chairman Sean Fleming.

He says O'Sullivan and the Government need a chance to put things right first.

The Government, however, is holding firm on the Commissioner's position.

Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan says he's confident Noirin O'Sullivan can overhaul Garda culture, and the Transport Minister Shane Ross agrees.

He said: "I haven't seen the PAC report, so I have certainly have confidence in the Garda Commissioner at the moment, yes."
