Bid to save ‘Rising’ buildings adjourned

A High Court action by the 1916 Relatives Association aimed at preventing the demolition of buildings on Moore St linked to the Rising has been adjourned for two weeks.

The State has agreed none of the buildings at issue will be demolished in the meantime, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan was told.

Colm Moore, a nominee of the 1916 Relatives Association, in his action has raised issues including whether some buildings on Moore St earmarked for demolition, including No 18, are national monuments. There is a real issue concerning whether No 18 pre-dates, rather than post-dates, the year 1916, he contends.
