Mid ranking Gardai call for right to strike

The Justice Minister’s been put on notice that mid-ranking gardai want the right to strike.

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors is meeting in Carlow where the suicide rate and welfare issues will dominate.

But Charlie Flanagan will also hear demands for the AGSI to get union recognition and with it the right to strike, even in a restricted capacity.

AGSI President Antoinette Cunningham says they'll ballot their members for strike action if enough progress isn't made with the Minister.
