We were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising and it was proposed that there would be a commemorative centre in the national museum for that year. That is nine years but nothing has been done. Are there any plans? Is there anything we can see? If there is, then please send them to this committee. From what we can see, there is no date to establish a national commemorative centre by. How come that situation continues? We only hear soundbites. Deputy O'Callaghan asked about a Garda station that had been promised many years ago and has still not materialised. A national museum has never materialised. Nine years have elapsed and nothing has happened. Do we have an estimated date? Will we have a centre for the 110th anniversary of the 1916 Rising? Will we have it for the 120th anniversary? Maybe it will be here for the 150th anniversary. Has the Minister of State any idea when the centre is likely to happen?
