It is appropriate of Mr. Falvey to mention Mr. Nelligan because he is a Trojan worker.

I am going to ask the Department and expert advisory group about some issues that cannot be delivered through local authorities because they have a more national or international, dimension. There may be others, but four occur to me. Is any contact being made with the Government of India about the Connaught Rangers? Is any contact being made with the Irish embassy in Britain, or the British Government, about events there? I am thinking particularly of the death of Terence MacSwiney in Brixton Prison but there may be other events marking political activity in Britain. Is any examination being given to that?

Other organisations based across the island were significant in the background of the revolutionary era. The women's council and suffrage moment was a significant element within republicanism and the politics of the time. The Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, and the labour movement also played a significant role in the politics of the revolutionary era. Those are four areas to be considered, two of them international and two domestic. Does the advisory group have views as to whether it is appropriate to, and how we can, fit those in? Are there plans to make contact and seek to organise events, debates or anything else in line with those organisations and places?
