Other Questions: Architectural Heritage (17 Jun 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof is what we see in Moore Street at present. This issue has been pursued with the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht ad infinitum. He has done what he says he can do in regard to the national monument at 14-17 Moore Street. Surely the local development plans should also take account of the aesthetics of the surrounding area....

National Monuments: Motion [Private Members] (2 Feb 2016)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I acknowledge that this Government more than any other has been proactive on this issue. It is still hard to believe that successive Governments from the 1920s ignored the significance of Moore Street. Between them, the local authority and eventually the developer, Chartered Land, it appears that a campaign of deliberate neglect and dereliction of this very significant area was pursued. It...

Maureen O'Sullivan: 3. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in view of the fact that a survey by three structural engineers concluded that 18 Moore Street is pre-1916, if he will commit to seeking independent expert advice on the status of the structure of 18 Moore Street and all 1916 buildings in the GPO-Moore Street area, described as the most important site in modern Irish history by the...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Maureen O'Sullivan: The answer ignores all the other events that occurred on these streets, coming from the GPO around to Moore Street and down to the place of the final surrender. The Minister is not taking into account all these other events which involved the members of the Volunteers, Irish Citizen Army, Cumann na mBan and ordinary citizens. Some very significant events happened on that street scape. We...

National Monuments (The Moore Street Battlefield) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Yes. A number of us here have been consistent and persistent in raising the issue of Moore Street. I have used opportunities during Leaders' Questions, other questions and Topical Issue debates to discuss it. However, it has been a while since we had a discussion on Moore Street and a positive aspect of Deputy Tóibín's Bill is that we have this opportunity to discuss it this...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Monuments (11 Jun 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I hope that legislation will not be too late for what is happening around Moore Street now. There is no way the Amsterdam authorities would allow a similar development to the one on Moore Street besides the Anne Frank house or the Polish authorities allow one besides Auschwitz. Like a Martin Luther King moment, I have a dream for Moore Street in which we have the national monument there...

Maureen O'Sullivan: ...to me and others that this and previous Governments would have preferred it had the men and women involved been airlifted from the GPO to Richmond Barracks and Kilmainham Gaol, thereby bypassing Moore Street. However, they did not bypass it and it is part of the evacuation route. It was also witness to a number of events not just involving the leaders in Nos. 14-17 Moore Street, but the...

Independence lives in the ideas we honor, the architecture we preserve and the battlefields we yet can save.” This is quoted at the start of the report from the Moore Street consultative group, which was presented to the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Humphreys, on 29 March, 2017. Someone said to me...

To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht her plans for the national monument 14 to 17 Moore Street and the Moore Street battlefield site; her vision for the area, including the space for the work of the traders; and if she will visit the battlefield site at her earliest convenience.

For example, O'Brien's mineral water building in Henry Place was occupied by the volunteers, the white house in Henry Place was occupied and held by Michael Collins, and Cogan's in No. 10 Moore Street was where the first council of war was held and where there was an overnight stay. The bottling stores were occupied by Frank Henderson and Hanlon's, at 20-21 Moore Street, was...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (9 Jul 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: .... More clarification on the figure of €5 million and how the restoration of Nos. 14 to 17 will be funded is required. The 10,000 plus signatures that I mentioned were more concerned with saving Moore Street than just Nos. 14 to 17. The street has been described as a battlefield site. I mentioned other stories. The Taoiseach described the area as the lanes of history, so the...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (9 Jul 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Táimid buíoch go bhfuil an t-ábhar seo á phlé againn inniu toisc go bhfuil sé práinneach. For decades, the Moore Street site has been allowed to fall into neglect and dereliction. This is embarrassing, particularly with the centenary approaching next year. Nos. 14 to 17 have been designated a national monument. A figure of €5 million is floating...

1916 Quarter Development Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (15 Dec 2015)

Maureen O'Sullivan: We know the central role of the GPO from the reading of the Proclamation until the evacuation on the Thursday. That evacuation went out of the GPO into Henry Street, Moore Street, Moore Lane and the surrounding areas. Every step and few yards on that route tells a story of the various men and women involved – the Volunteers, the Citizen Army, the IRB and Cumann na mBan – who...

Leaders' Questions (24 Jun 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: .... There were a number of venues used for the Easter Rising from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland at St. Stephen's Green to Mount Street Bridge etc. We can agree, however, that the GPO and Moore Street were absolutely vital. They are the place the Rising began and the venue that saw its end. There are great plans in place for the GPO but there are serious difficulties around...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Preservation of Historic Buildings: Discussion (8 Nov 2012)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I taught history and I am conscious of the historical significance of the Moore Street site. How does the council believe the local authority in Amsterdam would feel if there was a request to build a shopping mall that would completely dominate Anne Frank’s house? This is the similarity in the proposals for the Moore Street site. Does the council accept the emotive and concrete...

Maureen O'Sullivan: I still find it really bizarre that the site of Moore Street and the area from the GPO, which was described by the National Museum of Ireland as the most important site in modern Irish history, should be in private ownership and in the hands of a developer who is in NAMA and owes billions of euro to the State and that the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Oireachtas can do...
