Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have two decisions to make. I must look at the site on Moore Street in the context of the judgment and I must also look at its wider potential implications. I need to look at whether there are broader planning and development issues nationally. I am still assessing the potential impacts and consulting other Departments. I am also taking legal advice on the matter. I am, therefore, not in a position to give a definitive answer on the issues around the legal case and until that decision is made, I will not be able to say what we plan to do in the wider area. I understand this is an emotive issue, but we have made considerable progress in dealing with it. This is the first Government to have acquired 14 to 17 Moore Street.
