24/7 FRONTLINE SERVICES ALLIANCE
17 September 2009
With
the ongoing threats to pay and the negative implications of the McCarthy Report the GRA has joined an alliance with our colleagues in the PNA, POA, INO, PDFORRA, AGSI and SIPTU to
highlight the injustice in proposing further cuts for 24/7/365 frontline public servants.
The "24/7 Frontline Services Alliance" will be launched at a press
conference on Weds. 23rd September 2009.
The Alliance Group that represents frontline staff that work 24/7/365 believes that recommendations in the McCarthy Report, if
implemented, would result in:
- serious deterioration in public services for the community and
- further attacks on the terms, conditions of employment and pay cuts for
Garda and other public sector front line workers

psychiatric nurses, firemen and ambulancemen as follows:
