Fianna Fail TD Jim O'Callaghan has taken on the gruelling Garda fitness test - despite being 20 years older than the cut off age to join the gardai.
The 55-year-old has been calling for the fitness test, which one in six applicants fail, to be made easier in the face of the Garda recruitment crisis. The Physical Competency Test includes a shuttle run bleep test, push-ups, an obstacle course and a push-pull machine.
The Dublin Bay South TD is also calling for the upper age recruitment limit of 35 to be scrapped. In a video posted to Fianna Fail's Twitter page, Jim is put through his paces.
