The Garda Representative Association has officially ratified James Morrisroe as the new Deputy General Secretary.
Mr Morrisroe from the Cavan/Monaghan Division was appointed in October to the new national role within the organisation. The appointment took immediate effect at the time but he was officially ratified at the GRA conference that is being held this week.
The Annual Delegates Conference 2025 at the INEC Killarney for the organisation comes to an end this evening. The Garda Representative Association, established in 1978, is an association comprising members of the Garda Síochána holding Garda Rank.
It operates under the provisions outlined in the Garda Síochána Act of 2005, which is specifically formed to control or influence matters related to the pay, pensions, and conditions of employment within the police force. James Morrisroe who is attached to the Cavan/Monaghan Garda Division has been very critical of the new Garda Division model that includes Louth in the region.
