In the context of the Government's commemoration programme to mark significant centenaries during the decade 2012-2022, the programme for 2013 is currently under development. Arrangements in hand seek to address the organisation of the labour movement and the Lockout, as well as social history such as the suffrage movement and housing conditions. Initiatives under consideration include community and academic events. The Deputy will appreciate that the extent of public funding will, of course, be contingent on the outcome of the Estimates process.
