asked the Minister for Justice if he will state (i) the date from which it is proposed to grant an increase in the pay of the Garda Síochána, and (ii) the amount of the increase.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pay of Garda Síochána.
Mr. Byrne
A final decision has not yet been reached in this matter.
Mr. Byrne
Can the Minister say when a decision is likely to be reached?
Perhaps tho Deputy will put down a question in a week or a fortnight's time.
Mr. Byrne
My third or fourth question already, and there is grave discontent in the Garda Síochána.
In the absence of the Minister for Justice I would not care to have a shot at the answer.
