Peadar Tóibín: ...state must be a philistine state to deal with such a level of historic and heritage importance in this way.

Again, I have spoken to Minister after Minister with regard to, first, the importance of that battlefield site and, second, its potential in terms of tourism. Yet, we have...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (5 May 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...am aware that departmental responsibility for heritage has changed only in the past couple of days. What is going to happen? The building has national monument status, yet nobody is being held to account. Moore Street was the birthplace of the Republic. It was the place of the last stand of the volunteers of 1916. It was, in part, the reason Deputy Micheál Martin holds the...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Is the Minister of State including the buildings on Moore Street in the figure of 76? That battlefield site was the birthplace of the Irish Republic. It was the last stand of the Volunteers in 1916, whom many of us will celebrate on Easter Monday. Those buildings lie on a street that was synonymous with the vibrancy of the Dublin markets years ago. It gives me no pleasure to say it, but...

Ceathrú Chultúir 1916 Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Moore Street is the battle place and the birthplace of the Irish Republic. The lanes that surround Moore Street record the heroism and actions of the people who were out in 1916. The Moore Street battlefield site was the location of the final stand of many of the Volunteers who fought in the GPO. They came under heavy machine gun fire in the laneways around Moore Street as they set up the...

Peadar Tóibín: ...act of cultural vandalism. Today at 6.30 a.m., against the motion passed by Dublin City Council with regard to listing the building, the developer demolished it. This mirrors the experience with Moore Street, which lay for decades in dereliction. Every Minister in the Government owes his or her office to the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women of 1916. Why was there not one...

Engagement with Investment Funds: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: ...to do that; to actually use his influence for the people the Government represents rather than for business interests. In so many aspects of Irish society, whether it is housing, banking, health, the issues surrounding Moore Street or even education, Fine Gael's natural instinct is to defer to the private sector all the time. The private sector has an important role to play in this...

Peadar Tóibín: I ask the Minister not to reply to me now but, rather, to send me a short reply by email stating whether she agrees that the Moore Street battlefield site is a national monument. If she, Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Independent Deputies all believe it is, let us make it such.

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

Peadar Tóibín: ...it. As Deputy Gerry Adams stated, 100 years have passed but the State has not developed the site. Interestingly, the Minister referred to the inadequacy of the Bill.

Peadar Tóibín: ...is great disappointment on this side and among many of the campaigners with regard to the Government's decision on the matter.

If that were the case, Members would simply...

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

Peadar Tóibín: That is true. For ages we have seen excuse after excuse from the establishment of this State for not simply making Moore Street a national monument. It is incredible.

That action was the precursor to an independent...

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

Peadar Tóibín: The stories of the Irish State and of Moore Street are very much mirror images of each other. It is often said that the battlefield site is the birthplace of the State. The lanes of Moore Street reverberated with the heroism of 1916 which set in train the events leading to the freedom of this part of the island and the end of hundreds of years of occupation and exploitation. Moore Street...
