The Government is due to present proposals soon in a bid to end a pay dispute with senior gardaí which is affecting official plans to roll out policing reforms and the conduct of GSOC investigations.

Two weeks ago, Garda superintendents and chief superintendents decided that they would not continue to work outside their core duties in protest over the non-payment of an allowance increase recommended in a review conducted in 2020.
