Paschal Donohoe: If we raised Garda wages, every other public servant would expect the same

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe has said Government cannot increase Garda wages as all other public sector workers would then expect the same, writes Elaine Loughlin of the Irish Examiner.

Frontline gardaí have given the Government five weeks to restore their pay or face “unprecedented” strike action on four days next month.
