I ask the Senator to consider talking to the Ceann Comhairle and I about the national bravery awards, and the possible posthumous recognition of Garda Coonan with an award. As the Senator has said rightly, the State award is a matter for the Garda Commissioner, but certainly, there is a wrong that I hope we can have a conversation about. I call Senator Conway.

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.

Before I call the Acting Leader to reply, I should clarify my remarks. Retired Garda Coonan is very much alive. My comment was in the context of his service in An Garda Síochána in case people misconstrued it.
