Various sites related to the 1916 Rising are protected under the National Monuments Acts 1930-2004 or under the Planning and Development Acts 2000 - 2011. For example, the buildings at Nos. 14-17 Moore Street are a national monument subject to a Preservation Order under the National Monuments Acts, Kilmainham Gaol is a national monument in State care, while many other sites related to the Rising are included on Dublin City Council’s Record of Protected Structures (under the Planning and Development Acts), for example the General Post Office on O’Connell Street.

The appropriate statutory protections afforded to any particular building, site or location should be considered by the relevant public body should any application be made for alternation to any protected structure.
