A FEW MOORE YEARS TO WAIT

Easter Rising visitor centre still in pipeline

- BY KEITH FALKINER

PLANS to open a number of historic buildings in the capital as a visitor centre commemorating the Easter Rising may still take several years.

Junior Minister Kevin “Boxer” Moran has informed the Dail that while the project is a priority for his Government, it wasn't yet possible to say when it would be open to the public.

The buildings at 14-17 Moore Street have been at the centre of a major campaign to preserve them due to their historical significance to the 1916 Rising.
