As a formal acknowledgement of the important role of the Irish labour movement in the struggle for independence and the creation of the modern Irish state and in remembrance of those who suffered and died in the 1913 lock-out as they fought for workers' rights, does the Government intend to formally remember the events of Bloody Sunday on 31 August?

I think the Deputy knows that is not strictly in order on the Order of Business. I suggest the matter could be dealt with by means of a parliamentary question.

I will give a short answer. It is the Government's intention to mark the event. We have had discussions with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions about it.
