I propose to take Questions Nos. 305 and 310 together.
I am advised that the company concerned has committed to retaining the wall in question in situ as part of its development proposals for the Moore Street area. This was confirmed to 1916 relatives, Moore Street traders, Oireachtas representatives, and Dublin City Council members and officials, by the company as part of a recent detailed presentation of its regeneration plans to the Moore Street Advisory Group of which Deputy Ó Snodaigh is a member. An earlier outline of these plans was characterised by the Advisory Group in its Securing History 2 report as 'a significant and welcome advance on the previous plan with potential to develop a positive vision' for the inter-related elements of the market, the national monument at Nos. 14 - 17 Moore Street, and the company's own site. The report also described the plans as 'a stepped and welcome change in the way the conversation about the heritage site has been handled'.
With regard to the listing of protected structures, Part IV of the Planning and Development Act 2000 gives primary responsibility to local authorities to identify and protect historical buildings and structures by including them on their respective Records of Protected Structures (RPS). Inclusion on the RPS places a duty of care on owners and occupiers and also gives planning authorities powers to deal with any development proposals affecting them.
