I propose to take Questions Nos. 1359 to 1366, inclusive, together.
The Centenary commemoration of the Easter Rising and the other events of the independence period, including the Great War and the Battle of the Somme, will be addressed through a comprehensive programme to be implemented across several years. I will be arranging for a meeting soon of the re-constituted Oireachtas All Party Consultation Group on these commemorative issues. With a view to a developing programme, I will inform the Group of progress on current projects and the consideration towards future plans. I expect that the framework for the commemorative programme will be launched sufficiently in advance of the Centenary anniversaries to ensure that commemorative initiatives by interested parties may be informed of opportunities for support or association with the national programme.
The Government have not yet received the report of the Office of Public Works on their preliminary consideration of the potential for development at the GPO complex in Dublin. This report will be completed in coming weeks. A phased multi-annual programme of works is underway at Glasnevin cemetery, scheduled for completion in 2016. The preparation of the personal files and records in the Military Archives for public access has started. A dedicated project team has been assigned to this work. The scoping exercise has been completed and a workplan developed.
