The Decade of Centenaries commemorates
an eventful decade in Ireland’s
history which included the Home Rule campaign, World War One, the
1916 Rising through to the foundation of the Free State, the
War of Independence
and the Civil War. It was also a decade of social change which
witnessed the suffrage movement and the 1913 Lockout. The Decade
of Centenaries
programme aims to commemorate these events in a tolerant, inclusive
and respectful way.
Local Authorities oversee the
Community Strand of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht,
Sport and Media's Commemorative Programme. Funding is provided annually
to each Local Authority
and a programme
of commemorations is submitted to the Commemorations Unit of the Department
for approval. The Community Strand encourages a collaborative approach
between the State, local authority network and community organisations.
A Decade of Centenaries
Project Awards Scheme was advertised by Clare Councy Council in Dec
2019 inviting applications
from community,
historical and commemorative groups to commemorate events which happened
in Clare in 1920.
The terms of the scheme are based on the guidance of the Commemorations
Unit of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and
Media and follow the principles laid down by the Expert Advisory Group
on Centenary Commemorations.
The Commemorations Unit recognise ‘that local cultural organisations,
archives, museums and libraries act in positions of ‘cultural brokers’ and
have formed meaningful relationships with local communities.’
