Former Garda recruitment applicants

Summary

Deputy Fleming asks that applicants who qualified before the Garda recruitment embargo receive priority; the Ceann Comhairle rules the matter belongs in a Topical Issue debate.

My question comes under the Irish human rights and equality commission Bill and follows the announcement by the Minister for Justice and Equality on Garda recruitment. There is great concern among the people who had successfully applied before the Government embargo was imposed in 2009.

That is a separate issue. It is not on the Order of Business. Thank you.

They passed all eligibility levels at interview and examination and they are fully qualified in every way and have been accepted by the Department of Justice and Equality. I would like to see that their positions would be honoured and they would get the first call for any recruitment.

Sorry, Deputy, that is not on the Order of Business. Thank you. Deputy Ellis is next.

Will the Tánaiste ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to look at these immediately?
