Although it is two years to the commemoration of the 1916 Rising, could the House have a debate on it at some stage? There are issues to consider such as the invitations that would be extended to heads of state throughout the world and what format there will be for the commemoration. We should debate that. I am aware that an all-party group has been established but perhaps we could have a discussion in the Chamber so we can decide, as a people, what type of commemoration should take place.

The Deputy is asking for a debate.

I am. I am concerned that as time passes this could evolve into something that might become undignified, to say the least.

That is a very good suggestion. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Deenihan, and his Department have done a great deal of work on this. There is also a committee working on it. The suggestion that the House have a discussion on commemoration of 1916 and, indeed, the period of commemorations to put it in context is very worthwhile. I will ask the Government Chief Whip to discuss with the party Whips how that might be arranged.
