Moore Street heritage protection
Dessie Ellis urges action to protect Moore Street and its historic surroundings from redevelopment before the 2016 celebrations; Brendan Howlin says the monuments Bill will come later in the year.
There are serious concerns in regard to Moore Street and its environs. The protection and preservation of the entire historic area is of national importance. As we approach the 2016 celebrations, hanging over us are plans to bulldoze this area. The monuments Bill needs to be brought forward and we need a debate and action to stop our heritage being vandalised. When will this happen? We need this now to protect our national heritage.
