Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

What has the Government done to officially commemorate these events? Some people say Sinn Féin tried to commandeer republicanism in this country. I am of the view that we do not own republicanism. However, the lack of interest of the Government towards commemorating these important republican events only leads me to believe the Government does not have any interest in taking hold or taking ownership of these key events in the development and evolution of the Republic. I ask the Minister again to give us a date.
