64. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to publish all advice from the Attorney General and any other State and semi-State body or agency which informed her decision to appeal the historic landmark decision of a High Court Judge (detailed supplied) to designate the Moore Street battlefield site in Dublin 1 as a national monument; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The case is due before the Court of Appeal again tomorrow for a directions hearing. As the matter is sub-judice, and in accordance a longstanding rule of the Dáil with regard to advice sought or received from the Attorney General, I am advised that it would not be appropriate to release the legal advice I have received in this instance. The advice is also covered by legal professional privilege.
