  • MEDALS of the IRISH DEFENCE FORCES MEDALS of the IRISH DEFENCE FORCES
    Óglaigh na hÉireann MEDALS OF THE IRISH DEFENCE FORCES MEDALS OF THE IRISH DEFENCE FORCES 1st Edition (October 2010) CONTENTS SECTION TITLE PAGE No. Irish Defence Forces Medals 7 - 26 UN Medals 27 - 67 EU Medals 69 - 80 UN Mandated Medals 81 - 90 War of Independence Medals 91 - 96 Wearing of Medals 97 - 105 Index 106 - 107 Acknowledgements and References 108 INTRODUCTION The award of medals for services rendered is generally associated with the military. Military medals are bestowed in recognition of specific acts or service which can vary in significance from routine duty to bravery and valour. Irrespective of their provenance, military medals are highly valued and are regarded as representing all that is best in the field of human endeavour. They are seen as being earned and merited by the recipient and in the Defence Forces this sense of worth is enhanced by the strict conditions attaching to the awards. Medals in the Defence Forces fall into two broad categories: medals awarded by the Minister for Defence on the recommendation of the Chief of Staff and medals awarded to qualifying personnel for service overseas on Government approved missions. The first category comprises the Military Medal for Gallantry and the Distinguished Service Medal, which can be awarded for acts of bravery, gallantry, courage, leadership or devotion to duty and the Military Star, a posthumous decoration awardable to personnel killed as a direct result of hostile action. These medals may only be awarded following rigorous investigation by a board of officers appointed by the Chief of Staff. Also in this category are the Service Medal, which recognises service in the Defence Forces for a minimum fixed period and the United Nations Peacekeepers Medal, which recognises service overseas with a UN mandated mission.
