Eight serving, retired and deceased gardaí have been honoured with Scott Medals for bravery in the line of duty – two of whom lost their lives – at a ceremony this afternoon.
The ceremony, attended by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris and Justice Minister Helen McEntee, was held in An Garda Síochána’s Walter Scott House in Dublin, named after Colonel Walter Scott who 100 years ago donated a gold bond, in perpetuity, to endow a bravery medal, and included the dies from which all Scott medals would be struck.
