A report's calling for Gardai who go on strike or take part in industrial action to face pension sanctions.
Former Labour Court chairman John Horgan's released his report on Garda pay and conditions.
In calling for industrial relations to be 'normalised' for Gardai, John Horgan says the GRA and AGSI, representing rank-and-file and mid-ranking Gardai, should become actual trade unions.
However Mr Horgan says all parties should agree, Gardai will not engage in strikes or other industrial action.
For anyone who breaches that agreement, he proposes they be denied pension accrual for five years.
Recent weeks have seen both the AGSI and GRA agree to terms hammered out at the Labour Court which averted unprecedented industrial action in the force.
