1916–1921 Club

Remembering the First Dáil

An account of the committee formed for the centenary of the First Dáil.

For the First Dáil centenary, the Club formed a committee to press for a fitting commemoration of the founders of Irish democracy. Its earlier account records a proposal submitted to the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

The committee was chaired by Dr Labhrás Ó Murchú, with Barry Lyons as secretary. The original page described an encouraging initial response, but did not record the final outcome.
