Seanad: Moore Street Area Renewal and Development Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Jun 2015)

Jim Walsh: ...State and the sacrifices that were made.I have never met anybody who has not been significantly impressed and gone away with an insight they did not have before their visit. We have the opportunity in Moore Street and the GPO generally to ensure that the centenary will be marked appropriately in a way that our generation can be proud of. When we look back, we will regret the fact that at...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Jul 2014)

Jim Walsh: I ask the Leader to convey to the Taoiseach as a matter of urgency the need for the preservation and restoration of the buildings in Moore Street. I know the Taoiseach met with relatives of the families of the 1916 leaders this morning and has arranged for them to meet the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in this regard but there is real urgency. In particular, I ask the Leader...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Jun 2011)

Jim Walsh: .... We could do a lot worse than embrace fully what Senator McAleese said. Second, I concur fully with my colleague, Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú. He has championed the cause of those buildings in Moore Street which were pivotal in the retreat from the GPO in 1916. While I am sure the wish of the previous Seanad will be endorsed by this House that those buildings would be preserved as part...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jan 2011)

I also welcome Senator Ó Murchú's comments on Nos. 14-16 Moore Street. It is essential it is retained. I bring the Leader's attention to a report about a couple in Australia who have three sons and who are looking for a daughter through IVF. When...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2011)

Jim Walsh: Ba mhaith liom aontú leis an méid atá ráite ag na Seanadóirí Ó Murchú agus Norris ar son laochra na Cásca. I support Senators Ó Murchú and Norris on the designation of 14-16 Moore Street as a national monument. Unfortunately, owing to a family bereavement, I will not be present this afternoon for the debate, but I echo their sentiments. It would be an absolute shame if this...

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Oct 2010)

Jim Walsh: ..., two or three years later we cannot afford those rates. This is similar to buttressing the salaries that obtain in the public service. I agree with Senator Ó Murchú in respect of Nos. 15 and 16 Moore Street. It is essential that these two buildings be preserved, maintained and placed in public ownership in order that they will be there for future generations to see. It would be a...

Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Apr 2003)

Jim Walsh: I endorse what was said by Senators Glynn and Ó Murchú about 16 Moore Street. It would be a travesty if that building were demolished. It should be preserved because it is obviously of historic importance. While it might seem early, we should be planning now for the centenary commemoration of 1916. I hope we will not have such an anaemic event as that which took place in 1991 on the...
