Oldest ever recruit (51) graduates from Garda College: 'If you're able, why not? Give it a go'

Jeremiah Burke (51) said he wanted to join the gardai when he was younger but missed the opportunity. He said he recognises it is going to be a "tough job", but said: "You're never too old. "If you're able, why not? Give it a go. I'd say to anybody out there, if you want to go for it - go for it." He added: "I've done it, anyone can do it."
