Judicial Police Union Disputes Ministry's Salary Claims, Cites Staff Shortages

The Judicial Police Union has challenged the Ministry's reported average salary of €1880, arguing that this figure is inflated by overtime pay and does not reflect the reality of understaffing. The union claims the Ministry is not being truthful about the financial situation and working conditions of judicial police officers. They assert that the reported salary masks a significant lack of personnel, which impacts the overall effectiveness and workload of the force. The union's statement aims to bring attention to these issues and advocate for better working conditions and staffing levels.

The Judicial Police Union's dispute over salary figures and its claims of understaffing highlight critical issues within the justice system and the need for adequate resources and fair compensation.
