In recent times, improvement works were carried out on the Pearse Museum in St. Enda's, Rathfarnham. The OPW is to be commended on the work it has done there and on the fine work it has done on many other historical buildings throughout the country. Prior to the improvement works a list of some of those who played an active role in the War of Independence was on display in the museum, but I understand the list will not be replaced. This has upset many family members who were proud of their loved ones who had made sacrifices and contributed to the independence of this country. There may be a perception abroad that there is an element of revisionism or of being overly politically correct in this decision. I hope that is not the case and I sincerely ask the OPW to ensure the list that was there prior to the improvement works is replaced.
