Leitrim County Council, in association with Ireland 2016 and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht wish to develop a programme of events to mark the 1916 centenary.
Community funding phase IIis now available for local groups to play their part by developing a project to mark the event.
Ireland 2016 is a National initiative to develop, coordinate and deliver a programme for the 2016 centenary year with local, national, and international events, based on five intersecting themes, drawing inspiration from the ideals of 1916, the Proclamation, and the events of that time.
It is a call to action to REMEMBER the events of 1916, REFLECT on the last 100 years, and RE-IMAGINE Ireland’s future.
Each Local Authority will lead and enable an appropriate programme of ‘Remembering’, ‘Reflecting’, and ‘Re-imagining’ for each county. An interim programme will be prepared for consultation in June/July 2015 and a final programme for each county will be published in Oct 2015.
