The Dublin Fire Brigade is a recipient of the Lifesaving Foundation’s [[Ireland Medal]], annually awarded to an Irish person or organisation or to a person of Irish descent in recognition of an exceptional contribution to saving lives from drowning.  The medal has a high status within world lifesaving circles due to the quality of medal recipients, often generates valuable publicity for lifesaving, and frequently draws attention to hidden or overlooked aspects of drowning. 

==The Ireland Medal==

The [[Ireland Medal]] was introduced in 2004 as a joint project between the Irish Lifesaving Foundation and The Royal Life Saving Society Republic of Ireland Branch (RLSS IRELAND) to mark the centenary of the RLSS branch (1904-2004) and the birth of The Irish Lifesaving Foundation as a legally independent charity in 2003.
