Dr. Martina Moloney:

I thank the Senator for her question. The area she mentioned, Moore Street, is of great consequence to the Heritage Council and the heritage of Ireland and Dublin. One of the priorities for the Heritage Council and for me personally is to continue to collaborate with Dublin City Council, the other local authorities nationally and also the various agencies of State that have an interest in heritage. Obviously, the Moore Street area is part of a national monument and is a very important historical landscape. From my point of view, the Heritage Council will be available to help and support, in any way it can, development in that space. We appreciate very much the work that has already been undertaken by the Department and the advisory group in relation to Moore Street. If there are areas of activity to which the Heritage Council can contribute, we would be very happy to do so. I will take the opportunity to invite Ms Teehan to say a few words on that particular issue.
