Written answers

My role as Minister with responsibility for leading the co-ordination of the Decade of Centenaries Programme (2012-2023) is to help ensure that the challenging events of this important and formative period in our history and related themes, are meaningfully, proportionately and sensitively remembered.

I note the proposal referred to by the Deputy for a conference in Spring 2023 titled ‘History, Memory and Legacy’, to mark the centenary of the Irish Civil War. Throughout the Decade of Centenaries, the Government’s approach is informed by the guiding principles and the advice of the Expert Advisory Group on Centenary Commemorations. I have referred the proposal mentioned by the Deputy to the Expert Advisory Group for consideration.
