Fianna Fáil supports the Bill as an important step. Gardaí are hard-working front-line public servants who have been in a somewhat unique position in industrial relations policy to date which has been a challenge both for them and the State. It is important that they be recognised. The issue is addressed somewhat in the Bill. It is a positive step which we support. Godspeed in its passage.
