Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2013
483. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the way he is engaging with the Association of Garda Sargeants and Inspectors in relation to the LRC revised pay proposals that are currently being negotiated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22841/13]
View answerDiscussions on an extension of the Public Service Agreement 2010 – 2014 (the Croke Park Agreement) concluded with the Garda associations, including AGSI, on Sunday 12 May 2013. The Deputy will appreciate that the proposals agreed in principle during these discussions must now be ratified by the associations and that, in those circumstances, I do not propose to make any further comment on the matter at this time.
I would, however, like to place on record my appreciation for the officers of the Labour Relations Commission and all those who took part in the discussions for their efforts in securing an agreed set of proposals which will, I believe, make a significant contribution to the challenges facing us at this time.
