There has been a call for an An Oireachtas committee to be established to monitor the gardaí to ensure the recommendations laid out in the recently published Morris Report are followed.
The call was made by the Fine Gael Spokesperson on Justice, Jim O'Keeffe, after a second senior garda announced his retirement after the publication of the report.
A Garda spokesman said Superintendent John P O'Connor met the Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy last night to discuss the report.
Afterwards, Supt O'Connnor gave notice of his intention to retire from the force.
Last Friday, Chief Superintendent Denis Fitzpatrick announced his decision to leave the gardaí.
Both men, along with 15 other members of An Garda Siochána, were criticised in the Morris report into allegations of corruption amongst some gardai in Co Donegal.
The tribunal found that Supt O'Connor had failed to ask ordinary and rational questions into relation to an explosives find which was later discovered to be a hoax.
Supt O'Connor also failed to address the concerns expressed by some of his officers over the credibility of alleged IRA informant Adrienne McGlinchy.
The report also concluded that he had tried to diminish his responsibility in the activities under scrutiny during his evidence to the inquiry.
Mr Justice Frederick Morris deemed this attempt as disingenuous.
Supt O'Connor served in the force for 37 years. He spent over 20 years in service in Donegal before transferring to Tralee, Co Kerry in 1996.
