921 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Defence if the All-Party Oireachtas Consultation Group on the Centenary of the Rising is due to meet; if the future of the Moore Street and Moore Lane terrace of buildings will be discussed as an item on the agenda of the next meeting of the group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1427/11]

The All Party Oireachtas Consultation Group on the Centenary of the Rising, which I chair and on which I represent the Government, also comprises Deputy Jimmy Deenihan (Fine Gael), Deputy Joe Costello (Labour), Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Sinn Féin) and Deputy Michael Lowry (for independent members). I am aware of the interest of members to have a meeting of the Group and will convene it as soon as progress on a sufficient range of projects has been achieved to justify renewed consultation with the Group.

Any item of interest to members of the Group can be discussed at the next meeting. It is of course open to members to write to me at any time about issues of concern, especially where they may relate to matters requiring urgent attention.
