If you fail this you need a hard look at yourself. .

I think I will consider the Garda at age 58

Absolute joke of a police force no yearly fitness test like in other countries

""It's hard enough"" he says.. my god!

Its a warmup FFS. Pathetic

They only have to be fit enough to push women around like we saw in Dublin this week. The Gardai have lost the Irish people.

The Garda will be mauled by the people if they choose the wrong side !!

Don't think the push up test is fair. It doesn't measure strength. It measures strength relative to your own body weight. Surely you need a fixed standard weight that applicants need to be able to shift to show they are strong enough for the physicality of the job? Not push ups.

The United States bombed the Middle East to rubble and caused the European migrant crisis. See what happens when the shoe is on the other foot. The locked me up in Ellis County Texas with and I.C.E. detainer citing that I was an illegal alien. I have never been an illegal alien in my life. I Spent six months in solitary confinement, while the department of homeland security were trying to figure out what my status was. In the meantime friends of the court were ransacking my home. Eventually they sold my home for unpaid taxes.
