The story was featured on Derek Mooney's RTE radio show. Jim Herlihy undertook a lot of the research into the story and reveals a fascinating account of the genealogical background to Thomas Walsh, his marriage, and indeed the complex web of police marriages and inter-relationships once prevalent in Ireland. Even more fascinating is that the singer Dido was loosely related!

The research brought out Walsh's direct descendants and Kevin O'Neill, a great grandson, was handed the medal back. Walsh ended his days as a District Inspector and died in 1924.
