I am told it has not received a lick of paint in 100 years. To see it restored in a sensitive manner as a museum of tenement life would be really welcome. Given the huge public response to the Road to the Rising events on Easter Monday, about which I have spoken previously, there is enormous interest in the cultural aspects of the last century and the way in which people lived their day-to-day lives. That is what Henrietta Street will represent.

I am also glad that the Poolbeg chimneys are going to be retained and restored. I know Senator Norris will have something to say on this. It is very welcome to most of us who live in Dublin and love the sight of those chimneys.
