The Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 commemorates an eventful
decade in Ireland’s history. We have now reached the penultimate
year. This is a complex and sensitive period in our history, as we mark
the centenaries of events arising from the signing of the Anglo-Irish
Treaty; the outbreak of the Civil War; and the foundation of the State.
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.
The terms of the Decade of Centenaires funding 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.’
