Answer
During Question Time on 31 March 2025, I indicated that I was continuing to explore opportunities within my Department to support organisations participating in the semiquincentennial commemorations, and that I intended to make further announcements in the near future. The announcement was made during a meeting of the US/NI Cultural Working Group.
