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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...in the past. The questionable role of NAMA and its officials in many of the projects has also been raised. The Committee of Public Accounts might find a way to look at NAMA's Project Jewel and the fact that one NAMA official who was centrally involved in the Moore Street transaction left NAMA to head Hammerson Ireland, the company that is seeking to destroy parts of the 1916 fabric. ...

Paul McAuliffe: ...Government and Heritage, I welcome the decision of the Government to allow the Bill to progress to the committee, where we can discuss it in context with the advisory group report. I thank the Moore Street campaign and the proposers of the Bill because it does reflect the ambition of the Bill which I drafted in 2015 with the then Senator, now Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, supported by...

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

Mary Lou McDonald: I acknowledge my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh, for moving the Bill. The debate on the Bill has adequately reflected the really important place that Moore Street occupies in the story of our country. The years of neglect and abandonment by the State have not diminished its aura or its legacy for our people, notwithstanding the reality of the dereliction and grime and, as one Deputy...

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

Thomas Pringle: ...down the Bill, the Government could have the strength of its convictions and tell us how it will deal with the problem. In reality, though, it will not deal with the problem. What happened on Moore Street and Moore Lane in 1916 was important for everyone nationally, not only Dubliners. It is important we remember the struggle to gain our freedom. This debate shows how far we have...

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

Peter Burke: ...to commemoration have been the lack of partisanship and a shared agreement to engage together. The all-party Oireachtas committee on commemorations and the model of stakeholder participation that is the Moore Street advisory group, now in its third and final phase, are models for that shared, mature and self-confident approach to addressing a seminal moment in our history. There has...

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

Michael Collins: I support the Bill as well. The UK property group, Hammerson, owns a six-acre site stretching from O'Connell Street to Moore Street and Parnell Street. It is to seek planning permission next month that will involve knocking down buildings and changing the streets. I am in full agreement with the measure in the Bill to put a preservation order on the terrace and curtilage of the premises...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this important Bill. I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh and Sinn Féin for giving us the opportunity. I recognise and appreciate what the men and women in Moore Street did more than 100 years ago to secure our freedom. We are all joined here, regardless of the political party to which we are affiliated or otherwise, to appreciate those people...

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...

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

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. Given that it is about Moore Street in Dublin, one might wonder why a Deputy from Galway would be concerned about it, but it signals what we need to do with many of our buildings around this country that have gone into dereliction because we do not have the means or the courage to maintain them and bring them back into use. It is important...

Bríd Smith: ...and will be allowed to progress. I have not heard all the debate and do not want to repeat what others have said. It is important to recognise the relevance of the monument. The space between the GPO and Moore Street is very significant in our history - the history of struggle in this country to rid ourselves of British imperialism. Those most associated with it were the heroes of...

Gary Gannon: ...be doing so on a number of fronts. I am a representative of the constituency. I grew up in the north inner city. I am the son of a Dublin street trader, albeit a Henry Street trader rather than a Moore Street trader - there is a difference. I commend Sinn Féin on introducing this Bill and I commend Deputy Ó Snodaigh not only on bringing it forward today but on the work he has...

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

Seán Crowe: ...glass, sterile and cold. Dublin is a modern city and its people are its heart, but every year it becomes a little more modern and a little less vibrant. We must preserve the built heritage of Moore Street, where the 1916 volunteers fought and died in their last stand, and protect it from destruction. We go beyond that as well, however. We must cherish what is left of our heritage...

Duncan Smith: ...the Minister of State saying the Government will not oppose the Bill on this Stage. Ultimately, everyone wants to get to the same place on this issue. As a Dub, it is hard to not feel connected to Moore Street as a historical, cultural, social and economic space. While I would like to remove tribalism from any debate on this issue, it is hard as a northside Dub not to be a bit tribal...

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

Dessie Ellis: ...important historic site in modern Irish history. It is an area rich in the history of the Rising. After a week of shelling, fighting and fire at the GPO, the garrison fought its way to the houses on Moore Street, where the final acts of the Rising were played out and the decision to end the Rising was made. Each house on the Moore Street terrace has its own historical significance, not...

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

Imelda Munster: I am proud to have the opportunity to support my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh’s Bill. It supports the 1916 relatives’ regeneration plan to create a cultural quarter around Moore Street and will preserve the built heritage of the street. The Bill does three key things: it gives legal recognition to a Moore Street cultural quarter; protects the built heritage of Moore...

Chris Andrews: ...to speak in support of the Bill introduced by my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh. I compliment the work that has been put into the Bill by the 1916 relatives' group, whose commitment to saving Moore Street and preserving our history has never wavered. One can travel to almost any nation across the world and see the value and respect they put on sites that played a significant role...

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

Mark Ward: "There should be no further commercial development work in the vicinity of this site or in the [Moore Street] area. The strongest way to secure that is to designate it as a historical quarter." These are fine words and as much as I would like to claim credit for them, I cannot. They are the words of current Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, in...

Malcolm Noonan: I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh for bringing forward this Bill. I know he has a deep passion for, and interest in, the future of Moore Street and the surrounding part of Dublin central, as we all do. I have listened carefully to what he has said. I share with him the same sense of the seminal importance of the 1916 Rising, its central place in the history of our State and of the importance...

Denise Mitchell: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on the Bill. I thank my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh, for bringing it forward. Over the years, we have seen the history of Moore Street and the surrounding areas reduced to plaques in high places where eyes do not go. We have even seen Fine Gael Ministers in the courts on this issue, fighting the side of big business and private...

Sorca Clarke: .... Many have been forgotten; more have been ignored. It is important that regeneration of our historical areas commemorate and recognise the totality of those events during these revolutionary times. Moore Street must be preserved and there must be a viable future for it. This Bill would ensure that. This should be the start of a new policy direction which values our heritage and...
