I will quickly move onto Garda recruitment. I do not have much time left but I am very concerned. I receive an awful lot of emails from constituents about Garda transfers being delayed and about Garda recruitment in general. One particular individual tells me that, having waited for years to join An Garda Síochána, he has been rejected based on his body mass index, BMI, despite having been given a clear bill of health by both his own doctor and at a medical. Is there a stipulation regarding BMI in respect of recruitment to An Garda Síochána?
