Written answers

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Deputy Catherine Martin)

The proposal to erect a commemorative plaque at the birthplace of War of Independence leader, Rory O’Connor on Kildare Street is an initiative of Dublin City Council under the Council's long-running 'Plaques of Dublin' project.

I understand that the Council is in contact with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment as the manager of the relevant building at the address concerned.

I do not have a role in the matter.
