Gardaí to increase opposition to cuts

Gardaí are set to increase their campaign of opposition to further cutbacks to their pay and allowances by refusing to issue fines for motor tax offences from later this week.

The Garda Representative Association is to consider a range of measures to demonstrate the resistance of gardaí to proposals contained in the Croke Park II document published last week to knock a further €1 billion off the public service pay bill.

The GRA’s central executive committee is meeting today to discuss further actions open to its members to highlight opposition to proposed cuts to Garda pay under Croke Park II.
