Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that they have submitted correspondence to Comhairle na Mire Gaile, the Council for the Recognition of Deeds of Bravery, for the consideration of an appropriate award to the gardaí concerned. On 19 July 2004, Comhairle na Mire Gaile acknowledged receipt of the correspondence and undertook to prepare a submission to the council members at a meeting to be held in the near future.
