A 24-hour work-to-rule by middle-ranking gardaí has come to an end.
Members of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors had been refusing to use the garda IT system, known as PULSE.
Their decision meant that for the past 24 hours, while crimes were recorded on the system by rank-and-file gardaí, sergeants and inspectors did not review and verify these inputs or detail what action should be taken.
They will stage similar action next Friday when they will also refuse to undertake any administrative duties such as detailing members for duty, processing files or responding to correspondence from management in relation to returns or other matters.
For four days next month, individual sergeants and inspectors will withdraw labour to coincide with industrial action being taken by the Garda Representative Association.
