I can give a guarantee that Nos. 14-17 Moore Street will be developed as a commemorative centre to the 1916 leaders. There are some details remaining to be worked out and I have yet to bring a memo on the matter to Government. Work will commence as soon as possible.

On the remainder of the site, as I have said previously, it is outside of the national monument and is in private ownership. As such, it is not a matter for me. My responsibility is in respect of Nos. 14-17 Moore Street. This has now been secured into State ownership, which will protect its long-term future. It will be developed in a way that will ensure it is a lasting tribute to the 1916 leaders. It will also be a great addition in terms of the development in the GPO and the centre to be developed there. I believe both buildings will complement each other.
