Dublin Airport will be open and fully operational tomorrow in the event of a garda strike, according to a spokesperson. The same applies to Cork Airport.
Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has told the Dáil that the GRA had agreed to co-operate with the Garda Commissioner to ensure basic policing services will be in place so emergencies can be responded to tomorrow should the strike go ahead.
However, she said that if 12,500 people go on strike there is no contingency plan that can respond to that.
AA Ireland has said the rules of the road will still be in effect tomorrow and has also advised motorists that speed-cameras will be in operation.
Motorists "should assume that driving transgressions can still result in fines, penalty points and driving bans", it said in a statement.
It advised motorists of a significant delay in response time if reporting a minor incident or collision.
A strike by the Garda Representative Association, representing rank-and-file garda, and the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors is still set to go-ahead, but efforts to resolve the dispute are continuing.
A spokesperson for the Courts Service said necessary security arrangements have been made with gardaí and the courts' security team to ensure that cases in the Four Courts and the Courts of Criminal Justice will go ahead as planned tomorrow.
All courts around the country look set to sit tomorrow, except for three: Galway Circuit Criminal matters due for tomorrow are being heard in advance today, Waterford Juvenile District Court list and Kilkenny Circuit Appeals list are to be deferred to a later date.
In the Dáil this afternoon, Fianna Fáil TD Jim O'Callaghan said the Government has managed the garda dispute incompetently.
He described the situation as "a Mexican standoff" between the garda associations and the Government which, he said, has resulted in hardening of positions rather than dealing with grievances of An Garda Síochána.
Ms Fitzgerald reiterated her appeal to both the GRA and the AGSI to pull back from brink, to stand back and suspend tomorrow's action for time and space for the Labour Court to continue its work.
She asked that the GRA, which has agreed that a ballot will take place, give that ballot time and space for people to consider the Labour Court recommendation.
The minister told the Dáil that various units will be available tomorrow should gardaí go on strike, including: the Emergency Response Unit, the Regional Support Units, the National Surveillance Unit, the Special Detective Units, the Intelligence sections and the Garda Drugs units.
The garda associations are working with the Garda Commissioner, she said, to make sure that the public do get a basic policing service and their safety is guaranteed as much as possible in the situation.
