266 Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider the issue of a euro-denominated commemorative coin, in either €5 or €10 denominations, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising in 2016, that the coin be used both as a presentation item and also on sale to the general public; and in view of the fact that the issue of such a coin would require the approval of the European Central Bank, will he also make a decision in the near future to ensure that a design competition could be initiated in order to have the coin available by the start of 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
