Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

Does the Minister agree that if the all-party consultation group is to suggest social objectives that would be put in place to honour the men and women of 1916, this needs to be done quickly? Whatever additional resources or personnel are needed to achieve those objectives, the process must start now because to overcome social problems takes time. We have a reasonable timescale but there is no time to waste. Does the Minister agree it is important to establish the new all-party consultation group quickly and impose a time limit for the group to return with recommendations so the work can begin?
