218. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the action he will take following the late discovery of a report (details supplied) identifying No. 18 Moore Street as a pre-1916 structure which was submitted to his Department a number of years ago but was not made available to the Moore Street Advisory Group despite the repeated requested of its members.

The report referred to was the subject of a recent Freedom of Information request and was released in full. The report does not identify No. 18 Moore Street as a pre-1916 structure.  It stated that No.18 Moore Street was 'in ruins' in 1916 and that a portion of its 19th century facade remains to the first floor at the front. 

An earlier report (2005) produced by the same firm for Dublin City Council  specifically on No. 16 Moore St. contained the same information and was available to the Moore Street Advisory Group (MSAG) and this opinion was discussed at a number of meetings of the MSAG.
