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

Gerry Adams: ...liom buíochas a ghabháil leis na daoine a bhí ag obair ar son na cúise seo, go háirithe gaolta na bhfear agus na mban a bhí páirteach san Éirí Amach. I pay homage and thanks to the Save Moore Street groups and the 1916 relatives, and I express solidarity with the Moore Street traders. It is a scandal that we have not developed a proper and...

Leaders' Questions (12 Jul 2017)

Gerry Adams: Moore Street was the last battlefield site of the 1916 Rising and the final meeting place of some of the signatories of the Proclamation of the Republic. Those who met included James Connolly, Pádraig Pearse, Thomas Clarke, Joseph Plunkett and Seán Mac Diarmada. Michael Collins, the Taoiseach's hero, also played a prominent role in the battle of Moore Street, as did nurse...

Leaders' Questions (12 Jul 2017)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's answer is very disappointing. I wonder if he had a "Love Actually" or "Michael Collins" moment when he went down Moore Street. This House is the place for the Taoiseach to give notice that he is stopping the appeal against the High Court decision. He is new to this job and this is probably the final time he will take Leaders' Questions in this session. The vision he has...

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...behaviour. This is the same Teachta Martin who was 14 years in Ministerial office and played a key role in the crash in the first instance. He fought the last election to get rid of Fine Gael and then he put Deputy Enda Kenny back into power, as did the Independent Alliance. This was not the only Fianna Fáil U-turn. In the past few months, Fianna Fáil has done a U-turn on bin...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government Implementation (28 Sep 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...reached between the Government and Fianna Fáil, as a result of which we have seen these huge U-turns? The Government has done an U-turn on NAMA, bin charges, zero-hour contracts, Irish Water and the Moore Street project. Perhaps the Taoiseach might indicate, in the spirit of transparency, what other understandings to which he has come with Fianna Fáil.

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...turn, or every U-turn, because the Fianna Fáil Party has done a U-turn on every issue, from saying it would not support Fine Gael in government to water charges, bin charges, NAMA, the national monument on Moore Street, rent certainty and, just last night, banded hours contracts. None of this is in the common good. None of it is in the national interest. It is motivated by the...

National Asset Management Agency: Motion [Private Members] (29 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...Gael Party in power. Its amendment is yet another Fianna Fáil U-turn to take pressure off its Fine Gael partners and deny the Dáil its right to hold the Government to account. This is entirely in keeping with the party's repositioning on water charges, bin charges, the national monument in Moore Street, rent certainty and returning Deputy Enda Kenny as Taoiseach. Smile they...

United Kingdom Referendum on European Union Membership: Statements (27 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...;radh fosta. The principles contained in the Proclamation of equality, rights and self-determination are resonating with citizens as never before. There is a greater understanding and appreciation of the vision and sacrifice of the men and women of 1916 now than at any time in our recent history. Sadly, like the Government’s insistence on appealing the High Court decision against...

Order of Business (14 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...while we in Sinn Féin want to see constitutional change, that is up to the people. Can the Taoiseach spell out what consultation will be undertaken with Dáil Members, especially around these matters of constitutional change? Last week I raised the issue of Moore Street under the programme for Government. I specifically asked whether the Minister plans to appeal the High...

Order of Business (8 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...commits to developing and publishing "an updated National Heritage Plan that sets out policies for the protection and promotion of our built and natural heritage". The High Court ruled on Moore Street three weeks ago and the order will come into full effect in two weeks unless the Minister or developer appeals the decision. The court recognised, as has the National Museum, the historic...

Business of Dáil (14 Apr 2016)

Gerry Adams: Not agreed. I propose that we postpone this section and allow for more urgent and meaningful debates on issues that are pressing down on people, for example, health, the Luas dispute, NAMA and Moore Street. Today's vote, if it goes ahead, will be inconclusive. We should ask those who want to be nominated to go off and discuss policy matters which we understand they have not yet discussed....

Dáil Reform: Statements (6 Apr 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...practices that prevail within these precincts. On the first sitting of the 32nd Dáil, we in Sinn Féin were prevented from having motions that were properly submitted on scrapping water charges, health and hospital crises, Moore Street, and making the case for the establishment of a commission of investigation into the sale of NAMA's loan book. We wanted all of these...

Business of Dáil (22 Mar 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...homelessness, health services, water charges and child care. Sinn Féin would like to debate a motion to scrap water charges and the High Court's decision on the development of a national monument on Moore Street and in its precincts. It should be remembered that if the judge had not made that decision, Moore Street would have been demolished. This happened on the Government's...

Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Gerry Adams: .... We have lodged four motions and we will table an amendment for a debate on scrapping water charges, on the hospital and health crisis and on the need for a national monument to take in all of Moore Street. I want to make the case again for an investigation into the sale of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA’s, Northern loan book. The Taoiseach, the Minister for...

Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...has walked these laneways. The garrison came out of the GPO. Among its number was Michael Collins. He took over one house. Three hundred men and 30 women occupied the entire terrace. Elizabeth Farrell went up Moore Street and parlayed with the British on Parnell Street. The O'Rahilly was killed in one of the laneways. When the Volunteers surrendered, they were taken to the garden...

Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)

Gerry Adams: ...a single management agency for the River Shannon later this afternoon. I invite the Fianna Fáil leader and Government Deputies to support it. For now, I am very sad to be raising again the issue of Moore Street in the first Dáil sitting of 2016. In the very first week of the centenary year of the Easter Rising, relatives of those who took part in the Rising and other...

Order of Business (31 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: ...national monuments Bill, the review of the fair deal system, agus tá an cheist deireanach about the international protection Bill. This morning, the Cabinet decided to purchase the national monument at 14-17 Moore Street. I welcome that and I commend the relatives of the 1916 leaders, because without their diligence, this decision would never have been taken. There were years of...

Order of Business (31 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: -----and the 1916 revolutionary quarter which has been proposed? Will the Government engage in the widest consultation to ensure the battlefield site, that is, all of Moore Street and the lanes of history, is properly developed? When will the national monument Bill be published? We have been told, week in, week out, that the review of the fair deal system is on its way. This morning,...

Order of Business (14 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: ...gallant allies abroad. Can there be an all-island or, indeed, a wider global view of this? When will we hear about the development of what the Taoiseach described as the "laneways of history" in Moore Street? There is potential for a very fitting museum and an educational asset and for the redevelopment of the inner city and city centre, in particular the north inner city. My last...

Order of Business (4 Nov 2014)

Gerry Adams: ...that and would like an update on that Bill's progress. In light of the decision by Dublin City Council to vote against a proposed land swap with Chartered Land that would have seen the historic battlefield site of Moore Street demolished, will the Taoiseach move to intervene and find a resolution? I understand that the national monuments Bill aims to protect and regulate our national...
