The Taoiseach should be conscious that the event, despite his shameful official neglect, will be celebrated across the island and among the diaspora by ordinary men and women who will pay tribute to the brave men and women of 1916.

The 1916 Relatives Association said the Government is trampling over the men and women who fought in the Rising. A spokesperson has said the Government does not know what it is doing, that it has had years to plan for this but it was put together in a blind panic. Will the Taoiseach outline how the Government plans to rectify last week's shambolic presentation and to ensure the State properly commemorates the 1916 Rising?
