Garda officers want 'clear roadmap’ towards pay restoration

Middle-ranking gardaí want the Tánaiste to produce a “clear roadmap” towards pay restoration when they meet today.

Tánaiste Francis Fitzgerald yesterday said that while any deal would have to be within the Lansdowne Road Agreement, she was looking for “a pathway towards pay restoration” for gardaí.

This afternoon’s meeting with the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) is the first of two crunch talks the justice minister is having this week, with another with the Garda Representative Association (GRA) in the coming days, expected to be Thursday.
