Mary White (Fianna Fail)

He is helping me on an all-Ireland project on ageing. He brought a case to the High Court claiming that he should not have to retire at 60. An assistant commissioner should not have to retire at 60. His expertise is lost to the force. I would have that man on any project I was working on because he is a great person with tremendous knowledge. The Garda Síochána is being deprived of his experience and knowledge. There should not be an age at which an assistant commissioner must retire. I support what the Minister is saying. It is important for the Minister to qualify what he means by expertise. Perhaps the Minister already did so but I was not able to attend the Chamber until now.
