EU court: Workplace Relations Commission has legal power to rule on garda age limit
The EU’s top court has ruled that the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has legal powers to make a finding that Irish legislation on a maximum age limit for new gardaí may not be compatible with EU law.
The judgement by the Court of Justice of the European Union leaves the way open for the WRC to hear a complaint by three men who sought to challenge the imposition of a maximum age limit for trainee gardaí.
