90. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will ensure the immediate installation of the 2008 NFCD plaque at the famine sculpture (details supplied); the reason this plaque has not been installed; the earliest date for installation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIn June 2023, following agreement between my officials, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the OPW, a commemorative plaque was installed in the Custom House Visitors Centre for the public to view. This plaque commemorates the first National Famine Memorial Day in 2008.
In relation to a proposed plaque at the famine memorial sculpture on Customs House Quay, this is a matter for Dublin City Council as the sculpture is under the Council’s remit.
