NAMA IS TO provide €5 million for the development of a commemoration on the site where the 1916 leaders surrendered on Moore Street in Dublin.
It was announced last year that the four houses at 14 to 17 Moore Street are to be converted into a commemorative centre and national monument after a preservation order was placed on the site in 2007.
NAMA currently has possession of the site and at a briefing today by Arts and Heritage Minster Jimmy Deenihan, it was announced that they will put forward some of the construction costs.
The buildings were also the headquarters where the Provisional Government was set up during the Easter Rising.
Dublin City Councillor and member of the Moore Street advisory committee Mary Fitzpatrick today welcomed NAMA’s announcement, but added that the Government must ensure that the rest of costs are met:
I whole-heartedly welcome this news and I call for the Government to commit to providing any further funding that may be required to ensure that these buildings are developed to a world-class standard and are open in time for the centenary of the 1916 rising.
But Sinn Féin are opposed to the Government’s plans in their current form. Buildings numbered 13, 18 and 19 Moore St which contain no pre-1916 elements are to be demolished and Sinn Féin are against this.
“These new plans would still see the destruction of most of the east side of Moore St. This is the block occupied by the Republican forces at the end of the 1916 Easter Rising,” said spokesperson Sandra McLellan.
“Sinn Féin wants to see Moore Street fully preserved and developed as the cornerstone of a 1916 Revolutionary Quarter incorporating Moore Street surrounding lanes of history and the GPO.”

And here we have another scaremongering climate zealot trying to spread unnecessary panic,
Thankfully the average working person pays no attention to such people.
@Edward O’T.: The average working person is probably too busy dealing with their own personal problems to realise that this will affect them aswell but I wouldn’t take it upon myself to speak for us all. As for your first sentence, I think you may need to do a little research on what is actually happening to our little sphere and its atmosphere before going on about scaremongering and zealotry.
@Diarmuid Hunt: it’s climate cult ideology at it finest or maybe at it’s worst,
@Diarmuid Hunt: anything Edward and his ilk are unwilling to face the reality of because they can’t handle adversity = ‘Scaremongering’.
@Setanta O’Toole: I have handled more adversity in a long life since the fifties than you I am fairly sure, my list is long.
And over that time this climate you are whining about has changed little to over that time.
Here’s an opinion, open the comments sections again. Closed on every second article, even the recent one about Twitter “not engaging” with garda. Too right because today it’s riots in dublin, tomorrow its your rights been eroded and not allowing any opposition views to be heard just because the state tell them.
@Daniel Murray: Those making nasty comments can be blamed for the loss of comments
In essence, we are the carbon they want to reduce…
The Journal is an absolute joke. Struggling to put into words how pathetic the editors are. I genuinely feel pity to those who think they’re being journalists, you’re all being fooled. The rag reeks of propaganda, bias and flat out lies by word and ommision.
We see you for what you are. A vile machination of the corruption that is poisoning Ireland from the top down. Delete my comment all you like, the truth of my words will remain. Disgraceful carry on, how do you sleep at night with the shame of it?
@Ross O’: and instead of uninstalling the app you make multiple profiles and act like some sort of victim
@Martin Mongan: I’d normally ask you to provide a shred of evidence to support your claim, but I’ll save you the bother by saying everything about what you said is wrong.
@Peter Murray: Imagine missing the mark so much you think that’s what I’m really angry about.
@Ross O’: spot on Ross…and god forbid actually opening comments on something people actually want to talk about such as blatant genocide in 2024 for fear of shattering the image portrayed to the public though the editors prism. They are very exposed on this and we can see them clearly now for what they are.
Being able to buy credits is a bit of a joke as these countries emitting the most just pay it and do nothing. We can do everything humanly possible on our little island and it wont make much impact we’ll still endure the consequences of what’s coming
@Lydia Mcloughlin: only benefits the rich people – same people who are advocating for a social credit system that would make Winnie the Pooh blush.

“80% of Irish people are in favour of cutting our climate-changing pollution by at least 51% by 2030: with 50% of people actually saying we should do more than that.”… So what’s the plan?… oh, nothing. Bravo
@Thesaltyurchin: Who did they ask lmao put up a ballot box at Davos?
@Thesaltyurchin: what % said they like to pay for the reduction?
@P. V. Aglue: Its a quote from the article where I’m highlighting the lack of ideas for the progress of our threadbare infrastructures. It’s my bad for assuming that people read the article tho, lol. (but yea, Irish people will chant ‘lock them up’ but then flee when the bill arrives).
population increase means more emmissions.
@Damian Moylan: sssh. ..Don’t mention the elephant in the room.
It’s all over…
@Gerry Dornan: the solution is in the article………. more money
@Ken Mc Carthy: It kind of is … According to Bill Gates on YouTube.

Utter bull . It was 2 degrees warmer in Roman times. It’s thought the cooling led to reduced crop yields and more arid conditions. AD 1000 and grapes were grown in the UK. Vikings in Greenland and Newfoundland. Only left when it got colder.
Watch towers , and covert activities by AGS on O’Connell street would be a move in the right direction . They could even put members on patrol on the streets and in the housing estates!
have your say
