Ceisteanna (200)

Niamh Smyth

Ceist:

200. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason no members of the fire services received commemorative 1916 to 2016 medals; the reason non-rostered and support staff within the ambulance service also did not receive medals; her plans to ensure these members of the emergency services receive these medals; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The presentation of medals for participation in the 1916 commemorations was a matter for the services concerned and/or their sponsoring Departments. My Department has no role in relation to the local authority fire and rescue services or the ambulance services.
