Government on collision course with gardaí over 'rushed' new disciplinary regulations

The Garda Representative Association said its main concern was a lack of process to address 'minor misconduct and minor performance matters', meaning members could find themselves disciplined under the new regulations for more serious breaches, with more serious consequences.

The outgoing Government is on a collision course with almost 14,000 gardaí over the impending introduction of new disciplinary regulations in December.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA), representing almost 11,300 frontline gardaí, has said it will “not stand over” a situation which could lead to injustice for its members.
