What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Representatives of Garda Síochána are considering work-to-rule industrial action amid a dispute over working conditions during Ireland's six-month EU Council presidency. Ireland is hosting two major summits, including a meeting of the European Political Community on November 12 and an informal meeting of EU heads of state on November 13. Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris stated that the government is taking the security of the events 'extraordinarily seriously' as concerns grow over potential drone incursions.
