Minister of State at the Department of Defence

I am advised by the military authorities that the individual mentioned in the Deputy's question is on a list of persons yet to receive their medal.

I am also informed that staff of the Naval Service Headquarters (NSHQ) have made efforts to contact all those retired/discharged persons who were due to receive medals.  They will endeavour to contact the individual named with a view to arranging the presentation of the 1916 Commemorative medal at the earliest opportunity.
