Garda Representative Association will not enter talks on Lansdowne Road Agreement

However that was never carried out.

Ciarán O'Neill is President of the Garda Representative Association: “If the Government imposes penalties upon our membership, I am expecting that action will be taken.

“That we will be into industrial dispute.

“A decision has not been made in respect of that just yet, as to what the actions our members will take, but as I say, nothing is ruled in and nothing is ruled out.”
