A special executive meeting of the Garda Representative Association is underway at its headquarters.
It's over Garda rosters reverting to pre-Covid arrangements from November 6th.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has announced last week he will be rolling back roster arrangements for Gardaí introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The change will see Gardaí moving from usually working 12-hour shifts for four days, followed by four days off, to working 10-hour shifts for six days and then having four days off.
Previous attempts by the Garda Commissioner to move away from the Covid-19 rosters, which had proved popular among rank and file members, had caused tensions with bodies representing Gardaí.
Under the change, Garda rosters will revert to pre-Covid arrangements, known as the Westmanstown Roster, from November 6th
The GRA, who represent rank and file Gardaí, says the return to the previous roster would be a further “erosion” of members’ work-life balance.
