I have received messages of support from some of the leading figures in the Irish theatre world and from some iconic names known from the events of 1916. I have also received support from groups of architects and from people representing businesses in the city centre. The matter is not closed. I look forward to meeting with the Leader and with other representatives in this area. It is important that instead of dismissing our national theatre out to some financial suburb down on the docks we should have it right in the centre of the city where it is accessible by metro, Luas, bus, bicycle and car and on foot.
