As I stated, I reflected on the consent for three years and the Department went through every possible process. I am satisfied, and I believe most people will agree, that the decision reached was the best one for the national monument on Moore Street. As the Deputy is aware, the issue of the broader site rests with Dublin City Council and the council will make a decision on what it wants on the site. The developer must satisfy the council and An Bord Pleanála that its plans for the site reflect its historical importance and the events that took place at Easter 1916.
