GRA unable to recommend pay deal for members

The prospect of gardaí accepting the Labour Court deal was dealt a blow yesterday after the executive body of the Garda Representative Association was unable to recommend it.

The ballot is due to go out to its 10,300 members on Friday, November 18, with a return date of December 5.

GRA sources confirmed that there would be no recommendation from the Central Executive Committee and that “it’s for members to decide”.
