Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Most of the commemorative events deal with our political past. I am sure the Taoiseach is aware that this year is the centenary of the foundation of the ICA, which is an important organisation in this country. Has the Government identified any events that would celebrate the centenary of the ICA or are there any plans to do so? It is important that we should mark this event and as far as I am aware, there is no event of any significance that marked the establishment of this important organisation that has done so much for the women of this country, both urban and rural.
