Largest Garda staff body has been balloting members since last month with result to be unveiled today in Dublin
The GRA ballot process closed on Monday and thousands of votes were being counted by auditors on Tuesday. The outcome of the vote is to be announced by the GRA at an event in Dublin today.
Sources within the GRA said there was “huge interest” in the ballot among members over the last four weeks, with many gardaí contacting its office to ensure they received ballot papers. A very clear majority was expected to vote “no confidence” in Mr Harris. The GRA announced the vote of no confidence amid a protracted dispute with senior Garda management over new rosters. The GRA wants to maintain current rosters put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic, which involve 12-hour shifts in a pattern of four days on/four days off which have proven popular with gardaí.
The GRA decided soon after to hold a vote of no confidence in Mr Harris, but it is also concerned about Garda training, falling numbers in the force and a range of other issues.
