Monumental victory no cause for complacency

THE National Graves Association welcomes the findings of the Shaffrey architectural and historical report regarding 16 Moore Street in Dublin where the leaders of the 1916 rebellion made their last stand.

The recommendation by Dublin City Council recently to list 16 Moore Street as a protected structure is a service to the nation and justifies the association’s campaign.

From early 2002, it has been argued that 16 Moore Street is a national monument and thereby a matter of national importance.
