The Government has announced plans for this year's commemoration of the Easter Rising, which will be on a much lower scale than last year's 90th anniversary.

The 20-minute ceremony at noon on Easter Sunday will feature 250 military personal, including a brass band and a pipe band.

300 guests, including direct descendents of the signatories of the Proclamation, are to be invited to the ceremony by Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea.
