Mr. John Conway:

It is very good to be present for the debate. I endorse what was said by Mr. John Connolly. We have carefully considered the matter over the seven to eight years that the Save 16 Moore Street Committee has been running. We are convinced that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. While it would be brilliant if we had the €100 million or €200 million it would take to implement the big plan, that money does not exist. There is a strong possibility of funding the saving of No. 16 Moore Street and its three contextual buildings. The Dublin City Council planners, An Bord Pleanála and the other relevant authorities got their decision near enough right. The planning permission that exists at present is the best that we could make of it. We support the proposal.
