The Irish State officially commemorated the Easter Rising of 1916 in 2016 as part of a “decade of centenaries”, a period in history (1913-23) marked by significant episodes of violence and conflict. Despite this, the concepts of pluralism and reconciliation were chosen and embraced as the basis to successfully remember and recall these landmark events in the present. The 1916 commemorations in Northern Ireland were likewise designed to appeal to both the nationalist and unionist communities by focusing on the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme, which largely succeeded in getting cross-party support. Contemporary political concerns also loomed in the south. The rise of Sinn Féin as a formidable electoral force has become the political context in which government decisions concerning how to officially commemorate nationalist, republican and imperial legacies are being made.
