The Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality, Ms Frances Fitzgerald, TD, has welcomed the publication of the Review under the Haddington Road Agreement conducted by Mr John Horgan, former Chair of the Labour Court. The Review deals with the remuneration and conditions of service of members of An Garda Síochána; and the appropriate structures and mechanism for the future resolution of matters relating to pay, industrial relations and attendance matters.

Speaking today, the Tánaiste said, “the recent industrial relations difficulties in An Garda Síochána make it imperative that we find new and better ways of doing our business and the Horgan Review will provide a valuable input into the drafting of the legislation that the Government is committed to enacting to give the Garda Associations statutory access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court.”

The Tánaiste concluded by thanking Mr Horgan for the energy and commitment he brought to the Review.
