Vol. 433 No. 1
181 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Defence if there is any scroll of honour, certificate or other memento of official recognition available to the families of those who fought in the GPO in 1916 such as in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 3; and, if not, if he will introduce such a form.
Any person who rendered active service in Oglaigh na hÉireann or a kindred organisation during the week commencing 23 April (Easter Week), 1916 was eligible to be awarded a certificate of service and a military service pension under the Military Service Pensions Acts. All such persons were also eligible for the award of the 1916 Medal which was instituted in 1941.
There is a Roll of Honour bearing the names of persons who participated in the 1916 Rising in the National Museum of Ireland.
