Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at Local Level: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Padraic Jones:

No. To become a Garda trainee, you are generally required to be of good health and of sound mind and constitution, but that does not mean that people do not come into the organisation with certain conditions. Reasonable supports are put in place for them. This is very much carried out in consultation with our chief medical officer. The figures are not freely available to me at this time.
