Garda body vote to accept Haddington

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors is the latest union to accept the Haddington road agreement on public sector pay.

93% of its membership voted to accept the revised pay deal.

Another trade union - Unite - which had been very vocal against the Agreement is now re-balloting its members.

The union said it was deciding reluctantly to recommend acceptance of the deal - as its members would otherwise be disadvantaged.

Meanwhile - the Irish Fire and Emergency Services Association has voted to reject the Haddington Road Agreement.
