Tension high at Moore St site

Campaigners opposed to redevelopment of the Moore St battlefield site in Dublin have been accused of harassing workers and illegally entering the grounds.

Activists from Save Moore Street 2016 said repeated calls for an independent inspection of preservation and construction works on the terrace have been refused by Government officials.

A number of people from the group entered the site and recorded some of the work being carried out on the site where the 1916 Rising leaders held their last Council of War.
