The centenary of the Easter Rising in 2016 will be the centre-piece of the Government’s decade of commemorations programme. I understand the format and programme for the commemoration of the Easter Rising 1916 in Dublin is still being developed by the relevant Departments. The attendance of Ireland’s international partners, including representatives from Britain, will be considered once that programme is finalised.
