I want to ask the Taoiseach and the Minister of State at the Departments of the Taoiseach and Defence the protocols that are in place governing the awarding of military medals and if he will make a statement on the matter. As the Minister of State knows, there is grave concern about the ongoing refusal to award military medals around Jadotville and many families have been in touch with Members across this House about same. I want to know why the Minister of State cannot progress what has been recommended by many people in the Defence Forces and if he can clarify the matter.
