I will be making the announcement shortly. I have heard what the Deputy said about 1916 and the commemorative events that took place in Wexford. The restoration of the Enniscorthy Athenaeum was important. There was an interactive 1916 exhibition and a local authority grant scheme. It might be good for the Deputy to know Wexford County Council did not make a submission in the public consultation on commemorating the decade of centenaries. A total of 20 submissions from local authorities were received, none of which was from Wexford. This is not to say it would be precluded from participating in the local authority collective group on 13 March. It would then be in a position to make a submission by 30 April with any idea it has on the key themes from the expert advisory council and the points it wishes to take on board.
