Summary
Tara McManus, Assistant General Secretary of the Garda Representative Association, discusses a five-day work-to-rule action by rank-and-file Gardaí, where officers will strictly adhere to the working time agreement by reporting to their home stations rather than traveling directly to deployment sites. The industrial action coincides with major EU presidency meetings in Dublin, highlighting grievances over unpaid overtime, eroded terms and conditions, and management’s failure to provide transport or adequate rest.
