The Northern Ireland Office works closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on First World War Centenary Commemorations to ensure the Government’s programme of commemorations has reach and engagement in Northern Ireland. This includes supporting the introduction of the UK Government’s programme to mark the centenary of the Suffrage Movement. 14-18 NOW, the UK's art programme for the First World War centenary, is planning activity in Northern Ireland to mark this important centenary which we will fully support. I understand the devolved administration is also co-ordinating a programme of events in Northern Ireland to mark the centenary.
