I propose to take Questions Nos. 274 and 275 together.

I am pleased to confirm that the nominations for the Oireachtas Consultation Group on Commemorations have been received and that the Group, which I will Chair, will comprise:-

Senator Mark Daly

Senator Mary White

Deputy Aonghus Ó Snodaigh

Senator Kathryn Reilly

Deputy Catherine Murphy

Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan

The agenda for the first meeting is being prepared and I will be contacting the members with a view to a meeting to take place shortly. I anticipate that the issue of arrangements to allow input from interested parties to the work of the Group will be addressed at that time.
