It was due to begin this morning ( 10 November) and last five days

Rank-and-file Gardaí have called off a planned five-day work-to-rule, just hours before the biggest security operation in the force's history.

The breakthrough follows last-minute talks with Garda management.

The industrial action was due to begin today, as Gardaí prepare to police two major European summits in Dublin this week.

But following talks with Commissioner Justin Kelly, the Garda Representative Association agreed to stand down the action.

The deal includes a backdated one per cent pay rise, along with improved overtime and expenses arrangements for officers working at the summits.

The GRA says it's secured significant concessions and is satisfied with the commitments made.
