As we continue to celebrate and commemorate key moments on our journey to becoming a sovereign nation, we have also learned the importance of looking to and learning from our past while striving to create a better future for Ireland. We have reflected on our journey over the past 100 years and imagined our legacy for future generations.

A commemorative initiative to mark the convening of the First Dáil and the Declaration of Independence could be a significant step in connecting younger generations with that legacy.
