Garda Representative Association
Representative body for ordinary police officers in Ireland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Garda Representative Association (GRA) is the staff association for police officers of the rank of Garda in Ireland, founded under statutory provisions.[1] Irish law prohibits members of the Garda Siochana from joining trade unions because of a view from Government that police industrial action would pose a risk to public safety. The GRA is a 1978 reconstitution of a Representative Body for Guards (RBG) set up under 1962 regulations. Three similar organisations exist for Gardai of other ranks up to that of Chief Superintendent.[2] As of March 2023, the association had a membership of almost 12,000.[3] It is funded by a levy of 0.6% of the base salary of all its members.[3]
