Garda crisis: Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan confident over strike talks

It comes as discussions resume in the coming days in a bid to avert strike action by frontline gardaí.
The Garda Representative Association (GRA), with 10,500 members, has directed the withdrawal of labour for 24 hours on November 4, 11, 18, and 25, in a dispute over pay. The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, representing 2,000 frontline supervisors, will meet next Monday to decide whether or not to take industrial action — including the possibility of doing so on the same dates as the GRA.
