Garda awarded medal for bravery
Eight Scott medals have been awarded today to gardaí for bravery in the line of duty, with three of them awarded posthumously.
The medal is the highest honour that can be bestowed by the Garda Commissioner and is awarded for exceptional heroism involving risk to life.
Among those recognised was Garda Timothy McSweeney, who tackled a man with a knife in a house on 24 March 2022, where a woman and children were in fear for their safety.
He was stabbed a number of times but managed to detain the suspect.
