Former Irish Prime Minister John Bruton joined the august ranks of European luminaries such as Helmut Kohl, Edward Heath and Jacques Santer when he was awarded a Schumann medal last week.

The medal is awarded by the European People's Party Group (EPP) in the Parliament to 'senior European statesmen'. Bruton was selected for the honour because of what the EPP considered to be his contribution to European integration as Irish premier and leader of his country's Fine Gael party.
