Age Each candidate must be at least 18 years of age on 1st May, 2024. Retirement age for Retained Fire-fighters is 55 years of age (up to 60 years of age subject to conditions). 3. Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination, by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Fire-fighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of fire-fighting duties the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for firefighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination. 1. history of epilepsy 2. Alcohol or drug dependency 3. obesity 4. Chronic bronchitis or asthma or other disabling disease of the lungs 5. organic disease of the cardio vascular system 6. diabetes mellitus 7. unaided vision less than 6/12 in either eye 8. inability to hear a forced whisper or conversational voice separately in either ear at 20 feet; 9. evidence of labyrinthine disturbance 10. a history of vertigo or an illness which would affect sense of balance 11. history of mental instability Please note that it is recommended that Retained Fire-fighters be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B Virus and in this connection the vaccine will be made available free of charge to successful candidates. Fitness Test Part of the pre-employment medical examination includes completing the fitness test. Candidates successful at interview must successfully complete the fitness test prior to employment being offered. The fitness test at the recruit medical is the Chester Step Test. The Chester Step Test measures aerobic capacity and fitness and entails a moderately vigorous level of physical activity. The level of fitness needed to pass this test requires regular exercise and the test pass level is difficult to achieve if the candidate does not already have a good level of physical fitness prior to the test. Medical examiners advice is that fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks and often longer to appreciably improve your fitness level. Candidates who fail the initial Chester Step Test will be offered one further fitness test only. This may be a Chester Step Test or a Shuttle Run test, as determined by Cork County Council. No further retests will be offered. 4. Residence/Availability Only applicants from competent persons who reside and work within 2 miles of the fire station of the relevant unit and whose ordinary activity does not take them away from the town, in which a brigade is located, will be considered.

Unemployed persons are not precluded from applying, provided that they satisfy the residence and availability requirements. 5. Licence: Each applicant must hold a full current Category “B” European Community Model Driving Licence free from endorsement. 6.
