Ms Katherine Licken:

The monument at Moore Street belongs to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It is of interest to us because of its historical significance but it belongs to that Department. Its Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, brought a report to the Government in March 2021 on the monument and developments there. That was the Moore Street advisory group's final report to the Minister, which was presented to the Cabinet on 11 May. The buildings are in the ownership of the State and plans are under way for the sensitive and respectful restoration of the monument, along with the visitor centre to the rear. Again, it is not under our Department any more. It was but not any more.
