I appreciate that, and it is probably good to have some sort of continuity. I imagine that changing the date from year to year is probably to facilitate speakers, especially if they have An tUachtarán coming to speak. We also rotate the location of the event. The Chairman's comment is a valid one and may be something we can examine. Commemorating the Famine is very important, and it is very important that we have an annual memorial day every year.
