Gardaí angry over delay in overtime and allowances payments

Some gardaí are now calling for the payment anomaly to be fixed this week, ahead of when the wages are due to be paid on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

Anger has been expressed by gardaí that a significant amount of their wages will not be paid on time next week.

Overtime and allowances could make up to 2.5 times a member’s basic pay on average, with some earning significantly more, a source said.
