Minister of State Paul Kehoe said: "Ireland 2016 – the State’s Centenary Programme to remember 1916 has engaged the entire nation. We have remembered 1916, reflected on our Republic 100 years on, and are now re-imagining our future.

"The Athenaeum was the Enniscorthy command post in The Rising and it was fitting that it chosen as one of the Ireland 2016 'permanent reminders'. It has been beautifully restored to its former glory and will be a wonderful resource for locals and tourists keen to learn more about The Rising; and it will be an excellent facility for the arts in County Wexford."
