Greater Manchester's former chief fire officer who quit after the Arena bombing has resigned from his new high profile job. Peter O'Reilly, 55, has left his position as Chief Officer of Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service just six and a half months after starting the job.
To some it was a surprise when he landed the post due to the circumstances of his exit from the Greater Manchester service.
Yet, despite being out of the fire service for four years, Mr O'Reilly said it was "in his DNA" when he landed his new role.
