The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors has said the Government must consider an occupational vaccine rollout programme for frontline high-risk jobs to be run alongside the age-based vaccine programme.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week, General Secretary Antoinette Cunningham said it should not be a difficulty to get all gardaí vaccinated, adding that the "confrontational and high-risk job they do speaks for itself".
Ms Cunningham said the AGSI cannot understand why the undertakings given to the association by the Minster for Justice, in that gardaí should be vaccinated as soon as possible, could not be adhered to.
