Tánaiste: ‘No one wants gardaí to go on strike’

Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald said that “no one wants gardaí to take strike action” and that she was doing “everything possible” to avert the crisis.

Speaking before her meeting with the Garda Representative Association today, Fitzgerald, who is also the Justice Minister, said she would not be personally conducting negotiations, but wanted to find a “pathway”.

Ms Fitzgerald told the Oireachtas Justice Committee that she met the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors on Tuesday and that she “listened” to them.
