My final question relates to morale in the Garda. Members of the Garda Representative Association, GRA, have outlined how morale is in the gutter. The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI, maintains the majority of members have said morale is either low or very low, according to a survey.
We know there is interaction with Government on pay and conditions. Is there anything else the Commissioner and her senior management team believe they can do to address that? Does she believe it is simply an industrial relations interaction between Government and the two organisations?
