Second Phase Of Moore Street Restoration Works Approved
The second phase of work to safeguard 14 – 17 Moore Street is to get underway following High Court approval, the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Heather Humphreys, has announced.
A significant increase in activity is now expected at the site as workers prepare to carry out roof renewal works and other measures to preserve and protect the buildings.
Ahead of the works, the 'Plunkett' shop sign on No. 16 has been removed to facilitate scaffolding. The sign is to be carefully stored with a view to being re-incorporated into the completed project.
The works are being carried out under the supervision of expert conservation architects and are being overseen by the Chief Archaeologist along with architects from the Minister's own Department.
Announcing the works, Minister Humphreys, said: "These important works, which have been approved by the High Court, will ensure the landmark buildings at Nos 14-17 Moore Street are as well protected as possible until a permanent solution is agreed for them.
"I am conscious that the hoarding to the front of the buildings is causing an inconvenience for the Moore Street traders. While the works must be undertaken with great care and precision, I am anxious that the works should be completed as speedily as possible to allow the hoarding and scaffolding to be taken down, so normal trading conditions can be restored."
