In 2023, the Irish government continued its Decade of Centenaries program, which commemorated the events of 1912–1923, including the Easter Rising, the War of Independence, and the Civil War. The program encouraged a more nuanced and inclusive historical narrative, acknowledging the complexity and diversity of experiences during the revolutionary period. This reassessment challenged traditional nationalist narratives and sought to promote a more comprehensive understanding of Irish history.

The Decade of Centenaries prompted a reevaluation of Irish poetry from the revolutionary period, encouraging scholars and poets to examine neglected voices and perspectives. Poets like W.B. Yeats, Patrick Pearse, and others were reassessed in light of new historical scholarship. The program also inspired contemporary poets to engage with the legacy of the revolutionary period, creating new works that reflected on its ongoing relevance.
