They have joined their colleagues in The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) who called off strike action earlier tonight. At the time, AGSI President Antoinette Cunningham said:

"A fundamental and historic wrong has been put right tonight as a direct result of the sustained four-year AGSI campaign to gain access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court.  This has always been a key part of our commitment to members and that commitment intensified in recent weeks. The AGSI have gained an uplift in the income of all our members, the details of which will be circulated to the National Executive and membership and will be subsequently balloted upon. Finally we would like to express our thanks to the Chairman and members of the Labour Court for all their assistance in resolving this dispute".
