Minister for Defence

The State is undertaking a comprehensive programme of commemorations during 2016 which commenced on New Year’s Day in Dublin Castle.  Further details of the commemorations being held this year are available at www.ireland.ie.  I am currently considering any further initiatives that may be introduced in this context.
