GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-01
============================================================

Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF), Dublin South-Central

There is a whole range of other aspects. The one concerning Kilmainham was corrected by my party colleague Deputy Máire Devine. The State was forced to act because the people moved in. It is the same in terms of Moore Street and many other places around the country that this and previous Governments sought to destroy. I urge people to support this.
Outside the debate tonight, I urge the Government to rethink this, sit down and embrace other ideas. I was one of those on the Moore Street advisory committee and the centenary committee. In fact, I was one of those, like many other Deputies, who put forward many imaginative ideas, some of which were accepted and some of which were not. I was not hurt by that. I am hurt, though, by the fact that Micheál Martin thinks he can put first-class retail units into the GPO. I am sorry, I cannot have that.
