I join Senator Ó Murchú in his remarks about the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, and the so-called battle site on Moore Street. The Minister has handled it very sensitively but I am fearful of the part of the proposal involving a committee. It could become a talking shop, which is unnecessary at this stage. I would rather people such as the Senator talked to the Minister, who will always receive Senator Ó Murchú, and his fears could be allayed. The Minister means well, as I know from talking to him about it. In early course in the autumn, the Leader could invite the Minister to the House to give us an overview and an update.
