I would refer the Deputy to the response of my predecessor Minister Madigan to Parliamentary Question No. 943 of 23 June 2020 and Parliamentary Question No. 1272 of 3 June 2020, in which she confirmed that the National Famine Commemoration Day is due to be held in May 2021, in Buncrana, Co. Donegal.

Officials of my Department and Donegal County Council will resume preparations for the 2021 event later in the year. Further announcements in relation to the details of the arrangements for the National Famine Commemoration Day 2021 will be made in due course.
