Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has insisted a planned day of action next week by middle ranking officers will not turn into another Blue Flu 'strike.'
The Commissioner was speaking ahead of Monday’s protest that will see 100 members of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors marching on force HQ in Dublin’s Phoenix Park – in a row over proposed rosters.
But the Commissioner has moved to deny that the day of action will lead to a repeat of the infamous Blue Flue in May 1998 – in which thousands of rank and file gardai effectively went on strike by calling in sick.
