We hope those talks do progress, but that will not disguise the fact that there is frustration among rank and file gardaí about the Garda pay review. I think it was due to finish in June 2014 but, regrettably, we have lost the Chair of that review body. In the context of negotiations and discussions with the Garda representative associations, does the Tánaiste anticipate that the Government will cease paying increments to gardaí from the beginning of July because the GRA rejected the Lansdowne Road agreement in November 2015? Will any provision be made to allow any member of An Garda Síochána who does not wish to be part of the rejection of the Lansdowne Road agreement to enter into an agreement on an individualised basis? What is the Tánaiste's view on the decision by the Garda representative bodies not to work additional hours agreed under the Haddington Road agreement?
