-----a very extensive development. The Minister is concerned that buildings to the rear of Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street, which were in existence either in 1916 or beforehand, should not be demolished. He is also concerned with regard to the proposal to put an underground car park in place beneath Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street. For that reason, he recommended to the Cabinet that approval be given for the element of the development for Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street - including conservation, presentation, interpretation, etc. - in respect of which there is no difficulty but that he would refuse to allow the demolition of buildings to the rear and the installation of an underground car park. The Government accepted the Minister's recommendation.
