============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

I reiterate that the matter of awarding of the Scott medal is a matter for the Garda Commissioner, and him alone. I would not want us to think that we can interfere in that. However, it is important that we remember and reflect today on the service of Garda Coonan. We remember and thank him today. It behoves all of us to ensure that his memory is honoured in a very fitting way. I want to make that quite clear. I call Senator Cassells.
