·        The Centenary Programme should include a photographic record, film archive display and exhibition of copy historic documents such as The Declaration of Independence, Message to the Free Nations of The World and The Democratic Programme of The First Dáil.

·        A large photo of the members of The First Dáil should be displayed outside The Mansion House and Leinster House during Centenary Year.
