GRA Protest Outside Croke Park Talks
Some twenty members of the Garda Representative Association have staged a protest outside Landsdowne House, the venue for the Croke Park Agreement talks.
The GRA criticised the government as disingenuous in it’s calls for garda associations to re-enter talks, as they were kept in side rooms and not permitted to negotiate.
GRA general secretary PJ Stone said the association felt it was being ignored by the government.
"There are discussions and negotiations going on here behind us and we're not party to those, nor were we invited to them, so I want to nail the lie that this association has no entitlement to discuss its own pay and conditions of employment."
