Joe Costello: ...impacting on any of the surrounding houses. The neighbouring houses are not of the same period but, nevertheless, it would be best if they were not impacted upon.

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Joe Costello: ...so loudly had been there when it mattered. Now, it is very important that we get the restoration of the national monument. When the national monument came up first, the aim was to protect No. 16 Moore Street. It was extended to Nos. 14 to 17. We need it restored for the 1916 commemoration. It has been left derelict for far too long. The director of the National Museum of Ireland is...

Topical Issue Debate: National Monuments (14 Jan 2016)

Joe Costello: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the restoration of the national monument on Moore Street.

Joe Costello: ...of the extent of other areas. The Mansion House was central to much of the work and to much of the discussions which took place on the initial peace agreement. There was no mention of the Moore Street national monument or Arbour Hill. It seems that there are many gaps in the first instance. It also seems that we are way behind in the preparations.

National Monuments (23 Jun 2011)

Joe Costello: I understand a report was recently received by the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, regarding the national monument at Nos. 14-17 Moore Street.

There is a need for urgency from the Government in regard to its proposals to celebrate the centenary of...

National Monuments (14 Apr 2011)

Joe Costello: This is a particularly important issue as the centenary of the 1916 Rising looms nearer every day. Moore Street is an area that was very much part and parcel of the 1916 rebellion. As a result, a campaign, of which I was a participant, began several years ago to save No. 16 Moore Street, which was the last headquarters of the leaders before the final surrender. The previous Government...

These are the GPO, which is in public hands, and the Moore Street location, which is the subject of a major private development of approximately €2 billion, where the principal investor is in talks with NAMA.

National Monuments. (21 Apr 2010)

Joe Costello: Like many people in the country, I have welcomed the decision to designate Nos. 14 to 18 Moore Street as a national monument.
