GRA gravely disappointed at benchmarking decision

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) has expressed grave disappointment at the findings of the Benchmarking Report published today.

They claim that benchmarking has been 'merely an illusionary exercise to retain a semblance of industrial harmony at a time when politicians, senior civil servants and the heads of state commercial bodies awarded themselves exorbitant pay increases while remaining outside of the Benchmarking process.'
