Gardaí in Cork urged to walk off job over Dickensian working conditions

Gardaí in two Co Cork stations have been urged to walk out in protest against their Dickensian working conditions and the continued broken promises they endure from the Department of Justice and OPW to rectify the situation.

A senior Garda Representative Association (GRA) member said previous threats to take action, especially at the Macroom station, should be carried out.

“It’s the only way anything will be done for the gardaí stationed there,” he said. Both Macroom and Glanmire garda stations are in an accepted “deplorable state”, with the conditions highlighted at the recent GRA conference by the association’s central executive committee member Garda Michael Corcoran.
