1916 commemorative centre to be built on Dublin's Moore Street

A new commemorative centre is being developed at Moore Street in central Dublin.

Numbers 14 to 17 Moore Street were declared a National Monument in 2007.

Number 16 was the final headquarters of the leaders of the 1916 Rising before they surrendered.
