My Department will be working with the Department of Education and Skills to develop an education programme as part of the 2016 commemoration programme. Following the recent launch of Ireland 2016, a national initiative which includes a programme of events to mark the 100thanniversary of the Easter Rising, a period of consultation has now begun. In that context, suggestions and ideas from members of the public and interested groups as to activities and initiatives that might be pursued as part of the 1916 commemorations will be welcome. All such suggestions, as well as the proposal set out in the Deputy's Question, will be reviewed and evaluated in early 2015.
