I am glad the Minister hopes to eliminate the serious upper age limit discrimination in the Employment Equality Bill. I was approached recently by a man of 51, who is extremely fit, healthy with good qualifications, vis-à-vis an advertisement published in the careers opportunities section of the Sunday Independent of 25 February last for a post within the local government service, requiring applicants to have a pass leaving certificate. Since this man has an honours leaving certificate, that would present no difficulty in his case but the advertisement also stipulated that applicants must have been born between 2 March 1946 and 1 January 1980 which he considers very discriminatory. He could apply for a post as, say, manager of the relevant local authority in respect of which there is no age limit, at a considerably higher salary — £70,000 per annum — as against that of a clerical officer beginning at £9,000 rising to £15,500. Since these jobs are being advertised and interviews being held can the Minister ensure that applicants aged, say, 51, 52 or 53, who are fit and healthy, may apply?
