Vol. 528 No. 1
355 Mr. Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the changes in height guidelines determining the eligibility of persons for membership of the Garda Síochána; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29267/00]
The Garda Síochána physical competence test review group is currently looking at the question of pre-entry physical competence tests for applicants wishing to join the Garda Síochána and the validity of the present height requirements. The review group is due to report before the end of the year and, while I personally favour the abolition of the height restriction, I will carefully consider whatever recommendations are contained in their report.
