Seanad: Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (Hague Convention) Bill 2016: Second Stage (27 Oct 2016)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...of the Bill. It is useful to be cognisant of the various aspects of cultural property in this country during peacetime. It would be farcical for us to lament the destruction of the Arch of Triumph at the Roman settlement of Palmyra in Syria without applying the same standards to the preservation of our historical revolutionary quarter at Moore Street. While I accept that this Bill...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...incredible work they are doing to enure this issue is still at the top of the agenda. They have our full support in that regard.

Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: When in government, Fianna Fáil could have issued a compulsory purchase order and acquired Moore Street and the surrounding historic lanes from NAMA.

The elephant in the room is the Government’s failure, or refusal - however one wants to describe it - to...

Seanad: Arts and Culture Sector: Motion (8 Oct 2014)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: When in government Fianna Fáil could have issued a compulsory purchase order and acquired Moore Street and the surrounding lanes of history from NAMA. As we know, this did not happen and instead a bankrupt private developer was allowed to let this historical quarter descend into a state of abject disrepair and decay. Surely, if ever there was a metaphor for the decay and corruption at...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Jul 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Tacaím le cuid mhaith den mhéid a bhí á rá ag an Seanadóir Ó Murchú maidir le Sráid Uí Mhórdha. What is important on the issue of Moore Street is that the Minister, as indicated yesterday, meet with the 1916 relatives' group as soon as possible to discuss the development of the site in an appropriate manner. It will also bring to the...

Seanad: Decade of Centenaries Programme of Commemorations: Statements (22 May 2013)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...positive, but it too began previously. As there is not much money, resources or planning going into this we have yet to see any real, tangible, new initiatives. As has been mentioned, there is also the outstanding issue of the Moore Street site. The Minister is responsible for the decision on what becomes of the Moore Street site. He has seen all the presentations and heard all the...
