Sandra McLellan: I know the Minister will agree that there is a need to protect and develop the Moore Street national monument. That is a given.

The Government's proposals to turn 14 to 17 Moore Street into an...

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

Sandra McLellan: The decision to grant permission for the development of Moore Street is tantamount to providing for the obliteration of what has been described by the National Museum of Ireland as the most important site in modern Irish history. The Government's proposal to turn Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street into an interpretative centre, while welcome, is inadequate as it fails to match the importance of the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Quesitons: National Monuments (16 Jul 2014)

Sandra McLellan: As guardian of the monument, I believe the Minister shares responsibility for the surrounding area of Nos. 14-17 Moore Street. The entire Moore Street battlefield site should be developed and protected as a national monument.

Sandra McLellan: Like the issue of the Moore Street monument, this matter arises again and again. If one examines the questions tabled to the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht since he took office, it is obvious that this subject is being raised frequently. It is really in the hearts of the people. It is in my heart also. What provision has been made in the run-in to 2016 for the creation of a...

Sandra McLellan: I accept the Minister has responsibility for 14 to 17 Moore Street, but if there is evidence that some of the other fixtures predate 1916, that would be his responsibility. In another state, these laneways of history would be preserved and would be a vital place of remembrance. The entire Moore Street battlefield site should be developed and protected as a national monument. This would be...

Sandra McLellan: ...be disappointed in the Minister's position that the land-swap deal rejected by Dublin City Council was appropriate, but will be astonished to learn that she deemed the plan to demolish most of the Moore Street terrace as an opportunity.

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Sandra McLellan: I have raised questions on Moore Street ever since I took my seat in the Chamber. I have put questions to the Minister ever since she took office. She has repeatedly absolved herself of responsibility for anything outside 14 to 17 Moore Street. It is time the Minister took a stand and listened to the people. We do not want another shopping centre. As Deputy Joe Costello said, the fight...
