This isn’t about the GRA it’s about people who put on uniform, put themselves in harms way and sometimes don’t come home to their families says @brendan1oc https://t.co/yv22qJ7cbI

The GRA welcomes our newest recruits, the 126 members of Class 231! Congratulations #GRA #GardaCollege #Gardarep

We need the police to keep order, yet the service is constantly being undermined by endless inquiries and accusations.

A demoralised police service is a weakened one. The consequences should come as no surprise.

At today's Special Delegate's Conference, a number of important decisions have been made including:

- On the 5 Tuesdays in October (3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st) no voluntary overtime will be undertaken 🧵

[Robin Schiller @robin_schiller_]

BREAKING: @gardarep vote to refuse voluntary overtime on October 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 (including Budget Day and Halloween).
They have also said gardai will stay on their current roster with full withdrawal of services on November 10 if the roster situation isn’t resolved.

The Garda Representative Association has described a meeting with senior Garda management over rosters today as "a complete waste of time," saying its relationship with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris is now "irreparable"

[Michael O’Toole @mickthehack]

Wow. Very, very strong statement from @gardarep Gen Sec Ronan Slevin. Talks with Commissioner didn’t go well. At all.

‘In the Dublin South region, bosses have now decided to disband the Burglary Response Unit and a Tallaght-based unit that deals only with domestic violence to help make up the new policing squad, known as Unit E’ https://t.co/55Y6tm3R3v

[Michael O’Toole @mickthehack]

H/T to @political_dub for highlighting that the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland made strong comments in 2018 about the Westmanstown Roster (the one Commissioner Harris intends to reintroduce in 2018 and which is the biggest - but not only - cause of anger among @gardarep members). Here are some mentions...
