Campaign to preserve 'Ireland's Alamo'

An Taisce today joined a fight to protect the building known as “Ireland’s Alamo”.

Number 16 Moore Street, in the heart of Dublin’s city centre, is revered by historians as the house where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule finally surrendered to the Army, after moving in following a fire at the General Post Office in nearby O’Connell Street, the focal point of the rebellion.
