Decade of Centenaries


A Mayo Commemoration Committee was established in 2013 to develop a Commemoration Strategy for the period 2013 to 2023

The CentenaryMayo.ie website continues to be updated with material relevant to the period. We are working on an ongoing basis with historical and heritage societies and relevant communities in the county to assist them to develop local commemorative events.  

A programme of events was held in 2016 to mark the events of 1916 in Mayo, Click image below for more information.
