What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The 1916 Moore Street Battlefield site in central Dublin is under threat of demolition by the London-based developer Hammerson. The Moore Street Preservation Trust (MSPT) has launched a campaign to save the site, which is considered a hugely important historical and cultural location. The Trust has petitioned the Irish government to acquire the site and develop a 1916 historical Cultural Quarter. Separately, a Green Party Councillor argued that a tourist tax could help fund the upkeep of such sites, though they questioned its effectiveness.

The developer's plans are facing judicial review next year, which is a vital step in the campaign to preserve the area. The discussion also highlights the broader need for local authorities to secure extra resources for urban maintenance and cultural assets.
