Newstalk BreakfastThe results of the Garda Representative Association ballot will be revealed later this morning, with large numbers of rank-and-file GardaíThe vote is unprecedented for the force and Jonathan said it could have long-term implications – not just for Commissioner Harris but for anyone who succeeds him in the role."It's potentially dangerous because of the fact that they are a disciplined force and whatever happens next,” he said.

"They do feel very much put upon," he said."But I'm not sure that today's action is going to bring about any realistic change." The vote was called after Commissioner Harris confirmed his intention to return to the old roster – which saw most Gardaí working 10-hour shifts for six days before having four days off, with Sunday shifts reduced to eight hours.
