Of some 670 enquiries made to date, my Department has received 512 completed application forms for Medal certificates in respect of Veterans of the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence. Following examination, entitlement to certificates has been established in 374 cases, resulting in the issue of a total of 1,156 certificates in both official languages. Certificates are being issued on an ongoing basis where entitlement is confirmed by my Department.
