I agree the commemorations were terrific and that they grasped the imagination of the nation at the time. As I said, however, the key to reorientating what was a catastrophe at the start was the all-party group. Commemorations are about events and this year, 2017, sees the anniversary of the by-election victories of the Sinn Féin candidates, Count Plunkett, WT Cosgrave and Eamon de Valera. I ask what the Department has done to commemorate these events.
