Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1979 by removing from the requirements which must be satisfied before a person can be promoted to, or appointed in, the rank of firefighter, the requirements as to maximum age, minimum and maximum height measurements and eyesight.
The Regulations also make a number of consequential amendments to the 1979 Regulations.
