Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

My supplementary relates to the meeting of the First Dáil. The 90th anniversary of that event will take place next January. To a large extent that event has been overshadowed. Given its significance — it was the first convening of democratically elected representatives of the people to establish the State — will special attention be given to the commemoration of the 90th anniversary next January and, in particular, to promulgating the Democratic Programme of that First Dáil, a document that has been overlooked to a large extent in the passage of time in Irish history?
