As the Deputy may be aware, my Department has been conducting a review of the compulsory retirement age of Garda members, currently 60. This work is at an advanced stage and I expect to be in a position to consider recommendations shortly.

The Deputy will appreciate that any proposal to make changes to the age of retirement will involve the amendment of primary and secondary legislation. Detailed consultations will also be required with my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
