Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Ronan Clogher:
The problem is that An Garda Síochána has not embraced industrial relations well. For a traditionally rank-structured organisation, there has been a difficult introduction of industrial relations into An Garda Síochána. That is significant. We talked about this earlier several times. That is a significant frustration, particularly for the membership of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors. It is something that needs to be looked at. We just cannot progress matters.
