20 gardaí sent home as part of dispute over rest days

At least 20 police officers (gardaí) in Ireland were sent home after arriving for work in the southeast region, as their services were deemed unnecessary for an EU Presidency-related event in Cork. The officers had been instructed to report to Cork at 7am but were informed by a Chief Superintendent that they were no longer needed. This incident is linked to an ongoing dispute over compensation for work performed on rest days. The Garda Representative Association (GRA) supported the officers' actions, calling it a 'brave stand,' and argued that the situation violated the Working Time Act. The GRA emphasized that rest days cannot be routinely canceled without providing premium pay. Garda Headquarters acknowledged the issue and stated it would resolve disputes through existing processes, while thanking most officers for their efforts during the EU Presidency.

Deux gardaï ont été blessés à la suite d'une attaque non provoquée à l'extérieur de la gare de Dundalk dans le comté de Louth mardi matin. L'incident s'est produit peu après 7 heures du matin lorsqu'un gardaï, après avoir terminé son service, a été attaqué par un homme d'une vingtaine d'années dans le parking de la gare. Un autre gardaï, qui commençait son service, est intervenu et a tenté de retenir le suspect.

La Garda Representative Association (GRA) a exprimé sa ferme condamnation de l'incident, déclarant que de telles attaques contre les gardaí sont inacceptables et soulignent les difficultés rencontrées par ceux qui servent dans la communauté.

Dans un développement séparé, au moins 20 gardaí dans la région du sud-est ont été renvoyés chez eux après être arrivés pour travailler à Cork le vendredi matin. Ces officiers avaient reçu l'ordre d'être présents à 7 heures du matin pour des tâches liées à la présidence de l'UE. À leur arrivée, ils ont été informés par un surintendant en chef que leur présence n'était plus nécessaire.

Selon la GRA, si le quartier général de la Garde voulait que ces officiers soient à Cork à 7 heures du matin, ils auraient dû annuler le jour précédent en tant que jour de repos et offrir une prime.

Le siège de la Garde a reconnu le problème impliquant un petit nombre d'officiers et a déclaré qu'ils s'étaient engagés à résoudre ces questions par le biais de processus établis.

Alors que les enquêtes sur l'attaque contre le gardaí et le différend sur les jours de repos se poursuivent, l'accent reste mis sur la sécurité et le traitement équitable de tous les agents. Le GRA continue de défendre les droits de ses membres, en soulignant la nécessité de respecter les normes juridiques et le respect mutuel entre la direction et le personnel.

Two gardaí injured after attack outside Co Louth garda station

Two police officers were injured during an unprovoked attack outside the Dundalk garda station in County Louth on Tuesday morning. One officer, who had just finished his shift, was assaulted by a man in his 20s in the car park. Another officer, who was beginning his shift, intervened and suffered a broken hand while trying to restrain the suspect. Both officers sustained injuries and are currently out of work due to the incident. The suspect had been detained earlier in the week but was released before returning to the station later that evening.
