A young Westmeath man has won a Garda Special Recognition Bravery Award for saving a seven month baby and her pram from the canal.
Tyrone Donoghue from Mullingar spotted the pram rolling in - and despite not being able to swim - got the baby to safety.
Other recipients in the Midlands include Freya Maher from Laois/Offaly - who administered CPR to her horse riding instructor after a fall until emergency services arrived.
Kinnitty's Michael Dennehy also won a Special Achievement Award for his continued work in local sports coaching and his silver All Ireland medal in wheelchair hurling with Leinster.
Chief Superintendent of the Garda National Community Engagement Bureau Padraic Jones says Tyrone literally saved a life:
