MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor F. Warfield

Mayors Business

South Dublin County Council calls on the Minister for Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht Heather Humphreys to recognise and act on her responsibiltiy as Heritage Minister to protect and preserve the historic Moore Street area of Dublin City, including the terrace 10-25 Moore Street which was occupied by the volunteers at the end of Easter Week 1916 and where the final meeting of the Provisional Government of the Irish Republic took place. This requires the preservation not only of the National Monument 14-17 Moore Street but the protection of the terrace and of the integrity of the surrounding area which has been described as 'the lanes of history' and which has the potential to be sensitively developed as an historic quarter of our capital city, enhancing the living market trading tradition and bringing to life the area's central role in the 1916 Rising.

REPORT:

If the motion is passed the terms of the motion will be forwarded to the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and when received, a copy of the reply will be circulated to the Members.
