New rosters will 'enhance' policing, says senior garda

Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis said garda staff associations are due to meet Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on Tuesday to try and resolve a dispute over the reintroduction of the pre-covid rosters.

A senior Garda has said new rosters will not decrease community policing or the work of specialist units but will actually “enhance” frontline policing.

Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis told a Dublin City Council Joint Policing Committee that garda staff associations are due to meet Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on Tuesday to try and resolve a dispute over the reintroduction of the pre-covid rosters across the country on November 6.
