🗣️ "It's been quite an incredible journey behind the scenes." One of more than 100 new members of An Garda Síochána passing out in Templemore today has spoken about the determination behind his journey to graduation. Conor Finan, a former firefighter and undertaker, first applied to join the force at the age of 20. Now 38, he says losing ten and a half stone allowed him to finally pass the fitness and medical stages after multiple attempts. #VMNews | Virgin Media News
