The new centre will contain a museum and exhibition space, a research centre and records archive, along with a garden space for reflection and remembrance.

There will also be social housing, and facilities for further and higher education and community-based family and parenting supports on the site.

The consultation is available at gov.ie/nationalcentre until September 15th.
