The Moore Street site is in private ownership. Dublin City Council and An Bord Pleanála approved an application for planning permission for the site. There is one section that my predecessor designated as a national monument, which is in private ownership. Any work to be carried out on that requires my permission. This area of Dublin, not only the site concerned, needs major upgrading, rejuvenation and revival. We all agree on that and it would help if we could do it in the context of the centenary of 1916.
