Pulling the clothing from his upper body Garda Flaherty dived off the dock - a height of fifteen feet - and plunted into thirty feet of freezing water. he quickly found the woman and raised her head above the surface. With the help of a lifebuoy thrown by his colleagues he swam with his charge a distance of some sixty yards until they reached the dock wall. Although dazed and barely conscious when lifted from the water, the woman later fully recovered from her experience." Flaherty was awarded the Scott Bronze Medal on 15 February 1996 by Minister for Justice, Nora Owen. See also
