A Kerry TD says the Garda Commissioner has lost the confidence of rank-and-file officers.
Independent Deputy Michael Healy-Rae was speaking ahead of a ballot of Garda Representative Association members on whether they have confidence in Commissioner Drew Harris.
Rank-and-file gardaí are taking the action as they’re unhappy with the Commissioner’s plans to return to pre-pandemic rosters.
The Garda Commissioner has insisted he will remain in his position no matter the outcome of the ballot.
Kerry Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae says Commissioner Harris needs to change his approach and listen to the GRA.
