The award was given by the Irish Kennel Club in the Law Enforcement category.
The 4 year old Springer Spaniel is based at Dublin Airport but has a national brief - regularly being involved in cash seizures around the country.
In one particular operation, Barney discovered 30,000 in cash and two silver bars valued at 10,000 concealed within a wardrobe.
