P.T.O. — meet with and work through the Dublin City Council Moore Street Forum and the Moore Street Advisory Committee to achieve this; — develop a commemorative centre as part of a wider scheme for the regeneration of this historic quarter; — rejuvenate street and market trading; and — designate the GPO/Moore Street area as a national monument, to be preserved and developed under the protection of the State as a 1916 historic revolutionary quarter.” — Mary Lou McDonald, , Jonathan O'Brien, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, Michael Colreavy, Seán Crowe, , , , Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, Sandra McLellan, Aengus Ó Snodaigh, Brian Stanley, Peadar Tóibín.

Leasú: Amendment:

1. To delete all words after “Dáil Éireann” and substitute the following:

“recognises: — the importance of this significant centenary year of the 1916 Easter Rising and the Proclamation of the Irish Republic as a pivotal event in our history; and — that the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is continuing to work with a broad range of stakeholders, including Dublin City Council and 1916 relatives’ groups, in the context of the delivery of the comprehensive country-wide Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme of commemorative events, activities and projects; commends the Government and the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht on the purchase, preservation and conservation of the National Monument at Numbers 14-17 Moore Street - the only substantially pre-1916 structures surviving in the terrace in that street, with Number 16 being the location of the last Council of War of the 1916 Rising - as one of the iconic capital projects to commemorate the centenary of the Rising; acknowledges the commitment of all of those who have worked to preserve the National Monument at Numbers 14-17 Moore Street, but deplores the recent occupation of the National Monument on Moore Street and the consequent disruption of, and delay to, the conservation and preservation works; notes that the ongoing works to the National Monument are consonant with the requirements of planning law and the consents issued under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2004; reiterates that planning matters insofar as they relate to Moore Street and its environs are matters for Dublin City Council; and calls on the Government to continue to support the work of the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in regard to securing both the restoration and conservation of the National Monument at Numbers 14-17 Moore Street and its opening to the public as a permanent Commemorative Centre dedicated to the 1916 Rising and its leaders, while complementing the new Government-funded General Post Office (GPO) Witness History Interpretive Exhibition Centre and enhancing the amenity of the wider Moore Street/GPO area.” — An tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.
