      Shows a bigger problem as a nation than just the guards – maybe we need to cut back on the reliance of overly processed foods and takeaways in the country, have people fed some proper nutrition and exercise

      Ok but if we lower the standards and other countries are stealing our trained Garda then we’re just going to be left with shite, unfit guards who are too thick to move to Australia.

      Instead of lowering standards, they should increase pay.

      Saw one the other day that was seriously overweight. It’s a really bad look for the Gardai.

      This is, as with everything, a money issue, €37k is a great starting wage for anyone under 25 (subject to location) but if you’re nearly 40 and interested in joining this is likely a significant salary drop that life circumstances likely won’t allow for most. I’m not sure lowering standards is the way to go about this and does look like a quicker fix, rather than a more sustainable longer term answer.

      Standards were already pretty low. This is a bit of a joke.

      Remember the time when the Gardai were a good secure job. Serious crime was burglary and drugs like heroin were confinded to fatima mansions and Dolphins barn? People had respect for the force? 10000 used to apply annually for only 500 places? Yeah I miss those days too.

      Yeah take a load of unfit people in who can’t do basic exercise

      The weird thing about this is I know twonlads waiting around a year to be called to templemore, they both reach he fitness easily.

      So I don’t understand why there is a delay in getting lads into temple more if they are struggling to get numbers.
