AN BONN
MÍLEATA CALMACHTA
(THE
MILITARY MEDAL FOR GALLANTRY)
The Military
Medal for Gallantry is the highest military honour in the State.
It may be awarded in recognition of the performance of any act of
exceptional bravery or gallantry arising out of, or associated with,
Military Service and involving risk to life and limb. There are three
classes: with honour, with
distinction, and with merit.
These equate to the three former classes (pre December 1984): 1st
Class, 2nd Class
and 3rd Class. The old
classification is used here for consistency.
