Beyond proud describes how we feel in Colásite Abbáin about Aaron's (Pauline's son) achievements. The James Stephens Award is presented to the recruit who has contributed most to the espirit de corps of the 147th Recruit Platoon and the common spirit of camaraderie, enthusiasm and devotion to duty amongst the group. Aaron was the recruit who best espouses the Defence Forces values of respect, loyalty, selflessness, physical courage, moral courage and integrity. Comhghairdeas leat.
