Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I hope that, in the very early stages of the next session, we will be able to discuss this.

I have raised on a number of occasions the 1916 commemoration, which is gradually approaching, and particularly the development of Moore Street. I would put my head on the block and go so far as to say that if we develop Moore Street in the manner suggested, we will not only have a reminder of the eventful historic period in question but also a huge tourist attraction at our disposal that would attract millions of people. We hear about the importance of the Alamo but it would be secondary to that of Moore Street. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, will probably be dealing with this. I understand he will be visiting Moore Street. Perhaps his visit could be combined with his visit to the House.

Tá súil agam go mbainfidh na Seanadóirí taitneamh as an samhradh. Chomh maith leis an Seanadóir Coghlan, I ask that those going to Killarney go via the Rock of Cashel and Brú Ború at its foot. They would all be very welcome because the significance of Brian Boru was that he united all the people of Ireland. When Queen Elizabeth II requested specifically that she be brought to Cashel, she must have been aware of the significance of the site in terms of it uniting all the people. Let this be our mantra in the next session of the Seanad.
