Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail)

I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Deenihan, to the House to address the ongoing problems experienced by the Moore Street project, which is sponsored by the families of the 1916 leaders. Representatives of the project presented their case to an Oireachtas committee this morning. An area of Moore Street is designated as a national monument but Dublin City Council granted permission for the redevelopment of part of the street. I understand the Minister has sought a report on the matter. The findings of this report will be critical to whether the proposed sterile retail development, which is now in NAMA, will proceed instead of the plans put forward by the 1916 families, which would allow for a vibrant and suitable memorial to the 1916 leaders based on the traditional Moore Street market. If the Minister could finalise the report and explain it to the House, it would be the first step in building a fitting monument. It would be a disgrace if 2016 comes and goes without a fitting monument to our heroes in the Moore Street area.
