Annie Lee with W. T. Cosgrave at a war commemoration in the 1920s. After Fianna Fáil came to power, government ministers ceased attending, but tens of thousands still turned up at Remembrance Day ceremonies until the outbreak of the Second World War. While numbers fell off in subsequent years, there were public commemorations until the end of the 1960s, when they were discontinued because of the renewed Northern troubles.
