The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors will gather in Galway today
The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) has called on the Garda Commissioner to withdraw a directive to members of the gardaí on gender identity in the workplace and adhere to the established industrial relations process for the garda roster.
Some 140 Garda Sergeants and Inspectors will gather in Galway for their annual conference to discuss 24 motions, but top of the agenda are rosters, gender identity and a Sinn Féin social media post.
The AGSI has called on the commissioner to adhere to the established industrial relations process for garda dispute resolution and is protesting his decision to refer the issue of garda rosters to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
The association says it made a number of suggestions to resolve the current impasse, all of which have been rejected.
Sergeants and Inspectors are also calling for the withdrawal of the recent Directive of Gender Identity in the Workplace, relating to the rights of people who are transitioning, because it has been introduced without consultation or training.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said that gardaí who use the wrong gender when addressing a person may be disciplined.
The AGSI has also strongly criticised Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin for posting an image of a famine era eviction, reworked to include private security officers and gardaí.
