A multi annual framework for the centenary anniversaries leading towards the centenary of the Easter Rising in 2016 is being prepared. The founding of the Irish Volunteers in 1913 was a very significant development in the political life of the nation and will be included in this commemorative programme. The proposed commemorative framework will be discussed in due course with the All Party Oireachtas Consultation Group.
