Whilst responsibility for the Decade of Centenaries Programme rests with my colleague the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, both my Department and the Defence Forces have played a significant role in the State commemoration ceremonies to date.

I can confirm that no members of the Armed Forces of other States have participated in the 1916/2016 Commemorative Ceremonies.
