I am aware of the forthcoming 250th anniversary of the birth of Daniel O'Connell in 2025 and my Department is open to considering how we can help to ensure that the life and legacy of Daniel O'Connell and the 250th anniversary of his birth is marked appropriately. If the Deputy is aware of any specific proposals in this regard, I would be happy to give these due consideration in the context of my Department’s support for commemorative activities.
