The Garda Representative Association has agreed to postpone industrial action to allow for talks on new rosters after receiving fresh proposals from Garda Commissioner Drew Harris.
The breakthrough came during talks between Commissioner Harris and GRA bosses on Thursday morning followed by a meeting between all four garda staff bodies, including the GRA, and Garda management on Friday morning.
