No 16 Moore Street, the house believed to be the last headquarters of the 1916 Rising leaders, should be included on Dublin City Council's list of protected structures, according to a new report. Prepared by architect Gráinne Shaffrey of Shaffrey and Associates and urban historian John Montague, the report on the historical and architectural significance of the building is to be presented to councillors next month. According to a letter from Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald to Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, seen by The Irish Times, it recommends initiating formal legal proceedings to add No 16 to the record of protected structures, subject to ratification by councillors. The move should help secure the future of the building, which has fallen into disrepair.
