Garda Sergeants and Inspectors also planning to join strike action

Garda sergeants and  inspectors will be joining rank-and-file Gardaí in strike action next month.

At a special conference in Athlone today, delegates representing 31 branches of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking part in the four strike days planned next month.

Last month, the Garda Representative Association (GRA)announced work stoppages on 4, 11, 18 and 25 November.
