GARDA COMMISSIONER MARTIN Callinan has said there are “issues that to be addressed” regarding the appearance of a serving member of the force in last Sunday’s episode of crime drama Love/Hate.
Detective Kieran O’Reilly, who has previously worked in undercover drug operations, plays a member of an elite unit cracking down on ‘Nidge’ and the gang in the latest series of the hit show.
Speaking today, Commissioner Callinan said a report was being compiled by a senior officer on how O’Reilly came to be involved in the production.
“I’m very aware of the programme and its huge audience, and at this point in time it’s not appropriate to comment — other than to say I had a discussion with some of my senior colleagues who viewed the programme.
“We’re of the view that there are issues that need to be addressed and a superintendent will review those issues now.”
O’Reilly made his first appearance early in Sunday’s episode, posing undercover as drug addict and setting up a garda sting operation. Later, he joins up with the senior detective leading the case against ‘Nidge’, ‘Elmo’ and the rest of the main criminal characters.

Most of the kids on here are too young to remember 1998.
I remember working on work projects in 1998. I mustn’t have turned on the radio once that year.
10/10 proving that your favourite tweeting ex MP/TD/Republican Terrorist is stuck in a time warp.

@Darcy: Damn, I mixed them up with Roxette!!!
You would know if you were young in 1998. seems every day in the car was hearing one of their hits at the time. Cartoons Witch Doctor followed, just to keep with the 20 years old stuff.
I can’t recollect even 2018. Now you are talking things that were happened about a decade back!
@Dr. Udaya Khandavilli: 2 decades
@David Clements: Haha
5 out of 10 – surprised there was no question on Le Tour de Dopage which started in Dublin that year and triggered the Festina Affair
