247. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht given the concern of protestors who have peacefully occupied the area in recent days, if she will intervene in the building works on Moore Street in Dublin 1, to ensure the heritage of the area is preserved; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to the extensive reply given on this matter yesterday by An Taoiseach, in the course of Leaders Questions.The works that I have approved to the national monument at Nos. 14 - 17 Moore Street are intended to conserve the monument buildings and restore them to the 1916 state. The works are currently the subject of High Court proceedings.

The area outside the bounds of the national monument is generally the responsibility of Dublin City Council, as planning authority.
