As part of Ireland’s 2016 centenary programme each primary school will be furnished with a National Flag and a copy of the 1916 Proclamation. Sergeant Shay Hawe visited today to deliver the special package. The Department of Education has set aside the 15th March 2016 as Proclamation Day. On this special day all primary schools in Ireland will focus on the 1916 Proclamation and the raising of our National Flag.
