Question 69: To ask the Minister for Defence if he has arranged further meetings of the all-party group to plan commemorations of the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising; the issues that were discussed at that meeting; how often he expects this group to meet; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The all-party group held its first meeting on Wednesday, 1 March 2006. The arrangements for Easter Sunday to mark the ninetieth anniversary of the Easter Rising were outlined and the group discussed these. Preliminary discussions were also held in relation to the framework for the centenary programme. I envisage that the next meeting of this group will be after Easter to progress the development of the centenary programme. The group will then meet as necessary to continue this work.
