Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 May 2023
218. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the action he will take following the late discovery of a report (details supplied) identifying No. 18 Moore Street as a pre-1916 structure which was submitted to his Department a number of years ago but was not made available to the Moore Street Advisory Group despite the repeated requested of its members. [22315/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe report referred to was the subject of a recent Freedom of Information request and was released in full. The report does not identify No. 18 Moore Street as a pre-1916 structure. It stated that No.18 Moore Street was 'in ruins' in 1916 and that a portion of its 19th century facade remains to the first floor at the front.
An earlier report (2005) produced by the same firm for Dublin City Council specifically on No. 16 Moore St. contained the same information and was available to the Moore Street Advisory Group (MSAG) and this opinion was discussed at a number of meetings of the MSAG.
