Heroic Gardaí Honored with Scott Medals

This Friday, a dozen Scott Medals are being awarded to ten gardaí for exceptional bravery, including posthumous honors. The highest honor, the Scott Medal, recognizes acts of heroism in the line of duty, such as dealing with kidnappers and armed raiders. Notable incidents include the 1975 kidnapping of Dr. Tiede Herrema by the Provisional IRA and the 1923 attack on a garda station in County Kerry, where Sergeant James Woods was fatally wounded. The ceremony is held at Walter Scott House, honoring the courage of An Garda Síochána throughout history. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
