Cabinet approves legislation to give gardaí access to industrial relations bodies
Reading time: 1 minute
The Cabinet has approved the drafting of legislation to provide the Garda representative associations with access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court.
The decision follows from a commitment given as part of the resolution of a recent pay dispute.
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald said: “The recent industrial relations difficulties in An Garda Síochána make it imperative that we find new and better ways of doing our business.”
She added: “The Government is committed to giving the Garda associations statutory access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court and my Department will work closely with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to progress this matter to a conclusion next year.”
A working group with representatives from Government departments, An Garda Síochána, the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court will be established shortly to examine the issues.
