Dept For Arts To 'Carefully Study' High Street Judgement On Moore Street

The Department for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht have said that they will "carefully study" the High Court judgement on Moore Street.

Minister Heather Humphreys said: "This was a complex case and the judgement, which runs to more than 400 pages, needs to be studied in detail.

"My priority up to this point has been to progress the important works to preserve the National Monument at No's 14-17, which was the final headquarters of the 1916 leaders.

"My officials and I will consider this judgement in detail before making any decisions on further actions."

The Minister added that she regrets that the public will not now be in a position to access 14-17 Moore St during the centenary period as had been planned.
