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

Heather Humphreys: Sinn Féin claims it wants Moore Street protected, yet the party opposed the previous 2014 plan which would have allowed for the site to be restored. Most recently the party encouraged and supported the people who occupied the site, delaying the important restoration works and jeopardising our chances of being able to allow access to the site during the centenary. The Government is...

Anything outside the national monument is a matter for Dublin City Council.

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Heather Humphreys: The expert advice I have received is very clear. As I have outlined, Nos. 18 and 19 Moore Street were in ruins. None of the original fabric of the building at No. 13 is still present, as it was rebuilt in the 1940s. It has been clearly demonstrated that Nos. 14 to 17 are of historic importance.
