Sinn Fein President welcomes decision of Dublin City Council to protect 1916 House

The Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has tonight welcomed the decision of Dublin City Council to support the retention of number 16 Moore street as a house of historic value. Mr Adams made his comments after the City Council supported a motion calling for the protection of the house from demolition during redevelopment work that is due to take place in the area. Mr Adams said:

``I would like to welcome the decision of Dublin City Council to support the protection of number 16 Moore street as a site of significant historic value. I would like to commend all of those involved in getting the Council to support this motion, especially my colleague Cllr. Larry O'Toole who this evening led a march from the House on Moore Street to City Hall in advance of the Council meeting.''
