Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Okay. We are facing into the centenary of 1916 and the relatives have put forward sound proposals which are fitting for such an iconic holy place but which would also help to revitalise the north side and the centre of the city in a way which we have seen in other states and countries. This is not a Sinn Féin issue; it is bigger than us. I simply ask that the Government would support what the relatives of the men and women of 1916 are asking to be done.
