TD Jim O’Callaghan has called on the age limit for joining the gardaí to be raised above 35 after the 55 year old attempted to pass the required fitness test himself.
The Fianna Fáil justice spokesman towers at well over six foot tall and was an accomplished rugby player in his day - he still lines out in charity matches from time to time.
Mr O’Callagahn passed the test, but had some criticisms of it.
