Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: National Monuments (7 Mar 2024)

Mary Fitzpatrick: I welcome the Minister of State. This will be the sixth occasion I have raised the issue of the national monument on Moore Street.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: National Monuments (7 Mar 2024)

Mary Fitzpatrick: I thank the Minister of State for his interest in Moore Street, his response and his presence in the House. The reply is very disappointing and concerning because it indicates the State continues to wait for private owners and developers to determine what they are going to do, if they are going to do it. I appreciate those private owners are at the mercy of An Bord Pleanála and those...

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...by the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Can the Minister speak to that? I cannot let the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, out of here without raising Moore Street again.

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...at Dowth, and Brú na Bóinne, a place I visited recently. In my constituency, there is the Phoenix Park, the GPO, the Royal Canal - some of these places I take for granted everyday - O'Connell Street and Moore Street.

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...;ochas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht bheith anseo inniu. I have a very simple question and I would like a very simple answer to it. When is the State going to open the 1916 commemorative centre at 14-17 Moore Street? The address was the last headquarters of the 1916 leaders - Pearse, Connolly and others. It is more than 100 years ago. We celebrated the centenary in 2016. Since I...

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...and express to it that those of us on this side are exceedingly frustrated over the glacial speed. When I say "those of us on this side", I do not mean those of us in this Chamber but the people on Moore Street, the people of our city more generally and the people from all over the country who travel to Moore Street to see the last headquarters of the 1916 Rising. They cannot fathom what...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Oct 2022)

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...the Minister, who has put such a high level of dependency and people in need of additional services concentrated in this one tiny area. A big part of the dereliction element of O'Connell Street is the Moore Street site that runs from Henry Street all the way up to Parnell Street on the western side of O'Connell Street. The State owns Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street. I am hoarse from raising...

Mary Fitzpatrick: ...advertised and received one reply. Only one operator would tender to trade and operate a market on the most prestigious market street in our country. That reflects the lack of confidence there is in Moore Street at present. That is an all-time low. It is something we cannot tolerate or support. We cannot allow it to drift. I hope the Minister of State can confirm that within the next...

I hear the Minister's frustration and I share...
