Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
571. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if consideration has been given to an extension of the Decade of Centenaries perhaps under a new name given the significance of events which occurred from 1924 to 1934. [40827/22]
View answerThe Decade of Centenaries Programme is due to end in 2023. My immediate priority is to ensure this current period of commemoration, which is complex and challenging, is remembered with an appropriate meaningful, proportionate and sensitive programme, which recognises the legitimacy of all traditions, and values mutual respect and historical authenticity.
Any potential extension of the Programme will be considered in consultation with relevant stakeholders at the appropriate time.
