Written answers

In July 2013 I made a determination under the National Monuments Acts on the consent application and related Environmental Impact Statement submitted by the owners in relation to their proposals for the Moore Street national monument. My decision provided, inter alia, for the full repair and restoration of Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street and the creation of a commemorative centre to honour the leaders of the 1916 Rising. My understanding is that the completed designs for the approved works will be submitted to me in the near future to verify that they are in compliance with the consent order. They will be assessed as quickly as possible on receipt to establish that they conform to the terms of my decision on the consent application. As you know, I have met with the 1916 Rising relatives and all other stakeholders on a number of occasions. As the Deputy is aware, I will consider the issue of any further meeting once I have received and considered the completed designs.
