Seirbhís don Phobal

Gaeilge agus Cultúr
Bronntar an gradam seo ar dhuine a dhéanann sárshaothar ar son na Gaeilge, an
cheoil, na hoidhreachta agus chultúr saibhir na hÉireann a chothú, a chaomhnú agus
a chur chun cinn.
Caomhnú an Chomhshaoil
Aithníonn an gradam seo iarrachtaí chun an timpeallacht nádúrtha a chosaint, cúram
freagrach a dhéanamh de chruthú Dé agus todhchaí níos inmharthanaí a chothú.
Gradam Saoil
An t-onóir is airde, á bronnadh ar dhuine a bhfuil cion suntasach agus buan déanta
aige nó aici ar an tsochaí thar shaolré iomlán trí sheirbhís, ceannaireacht agus
inspioráid.
Catagóir Oscailte
Ligeann an chatagóir seo ainmniúcháin a dhéanamh do dhaoine nó do ghrúpaí nach
n-oireann go hiomlán d’aon cheann de na catagóirí eile ach a léirigh go soiléir solas,
dóchas agus tionchar dearfach i saol daoine eile.
