they backed down and the pay cuts are off the table. i cant believe we actually pulled this off but it shows what happens when we refuse to back down. thank you all for sticking with this until the end.

Gardaí have faced unprecedented challenges in recent years with regard to income reductions and work standards. They have seen their wages dwindle, with pay cuts, increased taxes, the loss of tax free credits, USC charges, Pension Levies, Allowances being reduced and some taxed. Further to this, Gardai, like most people who bought during the boom, are faced with huge mortgages and household bills, and have reached a point where they simply cannot give anymore. They have come to a point where many Gardaí face weekly dilemmas of either putting food on the table or foregoing a bill payment. This is reality. Many are on the FIS support scheme and some even have had to apply for Medical Cards as they face severe financial hardships.
Our Government now seek to deepen this hardship by reducing Garda pay by approx 8% which, for many Gardaí, will be unsustainable and will force them into uncharted waters where many will drown.
All we ask is for these new proposals of cuts to be seriously considered from a human stand point and not a statistic. They have given everything they can for this country to recover. They have made their sacrifices and they have paid their fair share. When they joined this great institution, they undertook the responsibilities with an open mind and clear understanding, and accepted the risks that accompany such a job.
Please, we now implore you to make the right decision and not further push these great men and women of An Garda Síochana further under water to drown in financial hardship. They are struggling to make ends meet as it is.

My brother is a guard and he struggles every month with his mortgage. Stop taking from the ones who actually keep us safe.
TOTAL DISGRACE. These people put their lives on the line and this is how they get treated by the govt?? enough is enough.
The guards have taken enough hits already. Prices are going up everywhere and they get paid pittance for the danger they face every single day.
fed up of the govt picking on public servants while the rest of them line their own pockets
about time we stood up for the lads in blue. they are being squeezed dry by these taxes and cuts its not right
