Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said he will not resign after rank-and-file members of Ireland’s police force overwhelmingly voted no confidence in his leadership, but said the result felt like a “real kick in the teeth”.

Almost 99% of gardai who voted in the ballot organised by the Garda Representative Association (GRA) expressed no confidence in the force’s most senior officer.

Speaking to the media at the annual conference of the Association of Garda Superintendents, Mr Harris said: “I’m hugely disappointed, it does feel like a real kick in the teeth.”

However, he said he would not resign over the non-binding ballot.
