The Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme places a special focus on the Seven Signatories of the Proclamation. A number of specific projects and activities in the programme relate to the Seven Signatories and individual signatories will also be remembered in a wide variety of ways. In regard to the naming or renaming of any street, this is, under law, a matter for the relevant local authority.
